Have you restarted apache after you added /var/www/vhosts/alphaworks.co.uk/squirrelmail/new settings? Have you checked if things start working when you change squirrelmail 1.4.7 directory owner? It is owned by uid 1000. If you have SymLinksIfOwnerMatch option in apache config, symlink by root to uid 1000 owned directory should not work. Have you tried to use location without symbolic link? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
