  : Try logging in with the default PHP session handler if you configured a custom session handler in Horde's setup. : If this works, something is broken with your custom session handler setup or backend. Continue troubleshooting there.
  : If using Horde 3.1.2 or later, change the configuration to allow non-cookie, url-based sessions. : If this works, cookies aren't stored in your browser. This could be caused by the browser configuration or a faulty session cookie setup, see the next point. If you already locked yourself out of Horde, edit the configuration file {{horde/config/conf.php}} manually and set {{$conf['session']['use_only_cookies'] = false;}}.
  : Make sure that you are using the correct cookie domain and path settings in Horde's setup. : Cookies are not stored in the browser if you don't use a FQDN (fully qualified domain name), e.g. ``http://localhost/horde/``, or if the specified cookie path ({{/horde}} by default) doesn't match the webroot of your Horde installation, e.g. ``http://webmail.example.org/``, ``http://www.example.org/horde-3.1.2/``.
  : Delete any cookies in your browser for Horde to test any of the above changes - otherwise wrong cookies might be stored in your browser and the above actions still fail

++++ After logging in the message "Last login: Never" is displayed. Always.
+You didn't configure a permanent preference backend like SQL or LDAP. Preference backends are used to store user settings and personal stuff like the last login time. As an administrator go the the setup screen for Horde, select the {{Preference System}} tab, and enter the necessary settings. The {{PHP Sessions}} backend does //not// store the user settings permanently. You might also need to create some storage resource in the backend of your choice, e.g. a table in your SQL database or a scheme in your LDAP directory. But this is covered in the [http://www.horde.org/horde/docs/?f=INSTALL.html installation documentation].
