Just a personal experience, but php as a apache module always gives me problems
under win2k so i use the cgi (originally installed from the latest distibution
then overwritten with the latest stable snapshot)

I haven't seen either of these yet... i don't think either of them have been
sucessfully compiled officially... you can get away without either of these.

have you tried with the mysql admin type programs that came with mysql to make
sure it is running?

did you set phptype to mysql in the authentication part of the horde config
file.... and have you added a user into the auth database? the database login
and password are not a valid login.
