You can also set up an alias in squirrelmail.conf to take care of
that...

    Alias /webmail /usr/share/squirrelmail

I assume by "localhost/squirrelmail" you mean you're pointing your
browser at http://localhost/squirrelmail as opposed to trying to invoke
it from the command line (nod yes).

You can test to make certain you've got Apache w/PHP configured
correctly by creating the following simple php page (call it
info.php)...

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

...and pointing your browser at it. It should yield a wealth of
information about your PHP configuration.
