Squirrelmail apache forbidden page

Question

I am using PHP 7.0.5 and Apache 2.4.20 and I would like to run Squirrelmail.

I am getting a 403 Forbidden error when I try to access any of the squirrelmail pages like HostName/squirrelmail, HostName/squirrelmail/src/login.php or HostName/squirrelmail/src/configtest.php ect.

In my httpd.conf I have:

 Alias /squirrelmail /usr/local/squirrelmail/www
<Directory /usr/local/squirrelmail/www>
  Options None
  AllowOverride None
  DirectoryIndex index.php
  Order Allow,Deny
  Allow from all
</Directory>

Answer 1

This is due to httpd 2.4 access control has changed from the previous version the solution is as follows

Order allow,deny Allow from all

should be replaced by:

Require all granted

then restart httpd

systemctl restart httpd

Answer 2

You must check the log of Apache to solve the problem, in centos 7 the logs will be in tow pathes:

/var/log/httpd/error_log

Or

/var/log/httpd/ssl_error_log

In generally Apache vhost.conf file must contain this lines:

Alias /webmail /usr/share/squirrelmail

<Directory "/usr/share/squirrelmail">
    Options Indexes MultiViews
    Require all granted
    AllowOverride none
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
</Directory>
