yes it does increment.

no error message...just refreshed page.
$conf['auth']['admins'] = array('hordemgr',[snip]);
$conf['auth']['driver'] = 'sql';
$conf['auth']['params'] = array();
$conf['auth']['params']['phptype'] = 'mysql';
$conf['auth']['params']['hostspec'] = 'localhost';
$conf['auth']['params']['username'] = 'hordemgr';
$conf['auth']['params']['password'] = '[snip]';
$conf['auth']['params']['database'] = 'horde';
$conf['auth']['params']['table'] = 'horde_users';

I turned logging on in php.ini
error_reporting  =  E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
log_errors = On
error_log = /tmp/php.log

but when I tried to log in again, nothing showed up in either logfile.

OK...newbie question...do I need to create a user before I can log in, or
should the "hordemgr" be able to log in?

Thanks for the help.
