Somehow I get the feeling there's more to the story than what you've
said so far.

Was index.html.en living in the directory you had set to be the
documentroot? Is your own personal main document named "index.html"?

If the above is true, it should work if your httpd.conf is correct. It
doesn't make sense to me that apache is serving some documents but not
others. It should be either all or none. I'm not an expert, but my
setup is similar to yours, and my pretty much just worked out of the
box, except those times when I've messed it up.

Here are some parts of my httpd.conf that might be relevant:

Listen 8081

DocumentRoot "C:/apache/htdocs"

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

<Directory "C:/apache/htdocs">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var
