How are you trying to access the file and what reports that '403 Forbidden' error??

If you access Plesk's domain in URL like http://domain.tld, verify that virtual hosts's root directory has index.html (or index.php, or index.htm, etc.)
Please check apache's DirectoryIndex:

~# grep ^DirectoryIndex /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
DirectoryIndex index.html index.shtml index.cfm index.php index.htm
~#

The files you gets in output are able to be loaded by apache without direct file specification:

http://domain.tld

For example if file index.html exists in directory /var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/httpdocs, it is loaded: http://domain.tld/index.html. The same for other files specified in apache directive DirectoryIndex.

If files from apache's DirectoryIndex do not exist in /var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/httpdocs, apache gives error '403 Forbidden'.

In this case you should either re-name file in question to index.html, .. or add new file name to directive DirectoryIndex in httpd.conf. Do not forget to restart apache after modifying httpd.conf.
