You mentioned /home/httpd/squirrelmail. On my gentoo system, it puts
files in /var/www/ so I'm assuming you're either using a none standard
setup, or your using an older version of all versions of software
installed. Either way, the default apache configuration is to reject
access to the /home directory, by the configuration option:
<Directory />
Options -All -Multiviews
AllowOverride None
<IfModule mod_access.c>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</IfModule>
</Directory>
This denies all access to anything in / unless otherwise explicitly
allowed by other directives. You could add the following:
<Directory /home/httpd>
<IfModule mod_access.c>
Order allow, deny
Allow from all
</IfModule>
</Directory>
Put this in your configuration file, and restart apache, see if that helps
any.
