Why are you installing SquirrelMail in vmware web service? It is proprietary
setup designed to manage guest oses. Less you mess with it, less problems
you have. If something breaks in your vmware web setup after you install n
third party extensions and make n modifications, vmware people can refuse to
support it. Keep it on some high port and use standard Ubuntu Apache2 on tcp
80/443 ports.

Create file with
----
Alias /squirrelmail /usr/local/squirrelmail/www
<Directory /usr/local/squirrelmail/www>
    Options Indexes
    AllowOverride none
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
</Directory>
----

Copy it to /etc/apache2/conf.d/ directory

Check Ubuntu Apache2 configuration ('apache2ctl configtest')

Restart Apache2 ('/etc/init.d/apache2 restart' or 'apache2ctl restart')

/etc/apache2/httpd.conf is empty on Debian and Ubuntu. All configuration is
modular and it is stored in other /etc/apache2/ files
