<Directory /.../Documents>
DirectoryIndex /.../index.php
</Directory>

you can put the DirectoryIndex (providing full path) in .htaccess, you don't
need <Directory> then. But make sure .htaccess is used and you may override
the DirectoryIndex (see AllowOverride in apache's config).
Not using .htaccess is a bit more effective.
