Is httpd in FC3 chrooted???

[Ankush Grover]

hey,

when i was configuring squirrelmail the SELinux was giving problem.I
disable it ,i think you should first disable SELinux and try to run
the httpd.When ur running try to look at the logs there will be
something related to SELinux.

Regards

Ankush
