Hi,

I've been trying to create a horde app.
Therefore I followed
http://wiki.horde.org/Doc/Dev/Configuration?referrer=Doc%2FDev# .
But when I got at creating the conf.php (after having created the
conf.xml), the browser window
(http://127.0.0.1/horde/admin/setup/config.php?app=newapp) just remained
empty and the server log showed up a lot of errors.

The conf.xml looked like:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>

 <configtab name="sql" desc="Database">
  <configsection name="sql">
   <configheader>Horde Database Settings</configheader>
   <configdescription>&lt;strong&gt;NOTE:&lt;/strong&gt; These are only
the
   &lt;em&gt;default&lt;/em&gt; values for any database driven backends.
You
   still need to configure the different systems like "Preferences" or
   "DataTree" to actually &lt;em&gt;use&lt;/em&gt; a database
   backend.</configdescription>
   <configsql switchname="phptype" baseconfig="true" />
  </configsection>
 </configtab>

</configuration>

The following errors where recorded:

After I changed it to:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<configuration>

 <configtab name="sql" desc="Database">
  <configsection name="sql">

   <configdescription>&lt;strong&gt;NOTE:&lt;/strong&gt; These are only
the

   <configsql switchname="phptype" baseconfig="true" />

everything worked fine.
I guess the
