Here are examples httpd.conf settings for running !SquirrelMail under Apache:
<code>
 Alias /mail/ /var/squirrelmail/bin/

<Directory /var/squirrelmail/bin/>
    Options MultiViews FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
 </Directory>
</code>
This assumes you have unpackaged !SquirrelMail into /var/squirrelmail/bin. In this configuration I have /var/squirrelmail/tmp set as the attachments tmp dir and /var/squirrelmail/data as the preferences directory.

Also, if your server emits the source instead of the actual pages it's likely that the PHP modules haven't been loaded. I noticed in my http*.conf files define checks for HAVE_PHP4 and removed these and restarted the webserver and everything worked perfectly. There is probably a better solution to define HAVE_PHP4 so you don't have to modify config files.

You may also want to ensure that any connection to the !SquirrelMail pages makes use of a secure (SSL) connection. One way is to redirect any connection to your mail directory with the following Apache configuration commands:

<code>
RewriteEngine  on
RewriteCond    %{REQUEST_URI}   ^/mail.*
RewriteCond    %{SERVER_PORT}  !^443$
RewriteRule    ^/(.*)         https://example.com/$1
</code>

I had to use :

<code>
RewriteEngine  on
RewriteCond    %{REQUEST_URI}   ^/mail.*
RewriteCond    %{SERVER_PORT}  !^443$
RewriteRule . https://example.com%{REQUEST_URI}
</code>

Otherwise, it wouldn't work on my Apache setup

Apache can be configured in a couple different ways to make sure that people don't request files out of the data directory if you are forced to keep it in a web server readable area (see DataAndAttachmentsDirectories).

You can add [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/location.html <Location>] tags in the Apache config.

<code>
    <Location /status>
    SetHandler server-status
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    </Location>
</code>

You can add [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/core.html#files <Files> ] tags in the Apache config or to a {{.htaccess}} file.

Please read the following links for more options:

* [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/configuring.html#htaccess Apache Configuration Files] - {{.htaccess}} files
* [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html Apache Core Features] - Core directives in configuration files
