i would imagine at this point, the problem lies in the httpd.conf file, or in 
an assosicated alias.conf file.  for my squirrelmail, i have a file 
in /usr/local/etc/apache/Includes called squirrelmail.conf.  its contents 
are:

Alias /webmail /usr/local/www/squirrelmail

you can make your alias /webmail or /squirrelmail or /whateveryouwant.  for 
your example, you would use /squirrelmail.  after this is in place, just 
restart apache, and it should no longer give you a 404.
