I've setup SquirrelMail, but get the following error starting Apache:

Syntax error on line 5 of /etc/squirrelmail/apache.conf:
Invalid command 'php_flag', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
failed

This was written by one of the configuration scripts--I have no idea which.

Anyone know anything about this kind of error? I don't even know where to start debugging it.

What are the contents of you're apache.conf file?  What about the server
include directives?

Here's the squirrelmail apache.conf:

Alias /squirrelmail /usr/share/squirrelmail

<Directory /usr/share/squirrelmail>
#  php_value register_globals On # refer to Debian bug #128226
  php_flag register_globals on
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

# users will prefer a simple URL like http://webmail.example.com
#<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4>
#  DocumentRoot /usr/share/squirrelmail
#  ServerName webmail.example.com
#</VirtualHost>


The httpd.conf's include statement is just that:

Include /etc/squirrelmail/apache.conf


Again, I didn't write these. The SquirrelMail configuration script wrote them.

Given my limitted knowledge of Apache, it sounds like php_flag is not
a valid apache command.  It looks like to me that they are trying to
set 'register_globals' to on for php (which is discouraged by the php
folks these days for security reasons BTW).  The squirrelmail
configuration is trying to change this php option.  One would usually
set this php option in php.ini.
