Well I couldn't figure out why it wasn't connecting to mysql, even though
the connection parameters were correct.
Fortunately, I also had PostgreSQL installed, so I tried horde with it,
and it worked the first time.
Everything seems to be working now.

So I would like to pose the question again.
Is it really neccessary to have a database with the Horde/Chora 
combination???
Thanks
