We have no idea.  We'd have to know a lot of details about your OS,
Database setup, networking setup, steps you took during installation,
etc. in order to know what the problem was, or document how you would
resolve it.

As an open source project, Horde depends on volunteers to create both
the code and the documentation.  Unfortunately, there are almost no
volunteers to create documentation, and hence there is very little
documentation.

No.  Horde includes some scripts to create the database, but you must
run them by hand.  Horde does not do this for you.

Please feel free to write some documentation on this so that others
will benefit from it.  If you need help, ask questions.  Use the 
answers you get to create the docs that are missing.
