Reload Apache with the following command: sudo service apache2 reload If you’re running Apache solely for SquirrelMail, you may still want to remove the default virtual host from sites-enabled.Īdd a symbolic link to this file in the sites-enabled folder: sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/squirrelmail /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ If Apache is serving other virtual hosts you may need to adjust them and/or this file to prevent any conflicts. # RewriteEngine on # RewriteCond % !^on$ # RewriteRule.

SquirrelMail provides a default configuration file for Apache in /etc/squirrelmail/nf. In this section we will take the default configuration file from SquirrelMail, move it to the Apache directory, and configure it for use on our system.
