(Apache) Forbidden 403 when accessing subdomain - apache

Question

I want to set up the subdomain "shop" on my Apache 2.2 server on Windows/XAMPP and it redirects to "index.html" if I enter "shop.localhost" as the URL but once I try to connect via my domain "sv443.net" it redirects to my document root ("/index.html" instead of "/shop/index.html"). Connecting to "sv443.net/shop/" works fine though and even redirects to "index.html".
I'm using Cloudflare to handle the DNS stuff and added these records (I cut off the IP address part):
This is my httpd-vhosts.conf:
NameVirtualHost localhost:80
<VirtualHost localhost:80>
ServerName localhost
ServerAdmin sven.fehler#web.de
DocumentRoot "c:/users/sv443/desktop/mamp htdocs"
<Directory "c:/users/sv443/desktop/mamp htdocs">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost shop.localhost:80>
ServerName shop.localhost
ServerAdmin sven.fehler#web.de
DocumentRoot "c:/users/sv443/desktop/mamp htdocs/shop"
<Directory "c:/users/sv443/desktop/mamp htdocs/shop">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
And this is my hosts.dat:
(only comments)
2.205.169.73 sv443.net
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost shop.localhost
Also I added this .htaccess file to the shop directory to redirect to the index.html if a 403 or 404 is encountered - removing this file doesn't fix my problem:
ErrorDocument 403 /shop/index.html
ErrorDocument 404 /shop/index.html
If someone tries to connect I get this error message in the Apache error.log:
AH01630: client denied by server configuration: C:/Users/Sv443/Desktop/MAMP htdocs/shop/.html
Thanks for any help!

If you can get content by explicitly specifying "/index.html" but not with "/", you should add DirectoryIndex index.html in your configuration, after loading mod_dir. This will define the default file to look for when it is not specified.
For your VirtualHost:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias www.example.com
ServerAlias example.com
LogLevel debug
CustomLog "logs/example_access_log" combined
ErrorLog "logs/example_error_log"
[... REST OF CONFIGURATION ...]
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName shop.localhost
ServerAlias shop.example.com
LogLevel debug
CustomLog "logs/shop_access_log" combined
ErrorLog "logs/shop_error_log"
[... REST OF CONFIGURATION ...]
</VirtualHost>
Apache decides which VirtualHost to use for the request based on the domain in the request. If it does not find a match, it uses the first one in the file (here localhost). Therefore you are not pointing to your "shop" sub-domain, unless you specify it in the VirtualHost for it, via ServerAlias ....
