[horde] Can't seem to Login

[Mike Koponick]

Sebastian,

Yes, I worked thru the entire install/config process, as the documents read.

Now, I looked thru the MySQL database, and ensured the username/password
were correct, and made sure the database structures were also correct,no
problems there.

Here the output from the test.php:

When I login (or try to login) I get this error:
 Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in
/var/www/html/horde/login.php on line 33

Now, from what I can tell, this is an authentication issue. Someone please
tell me I'm wrong ;-)

Here is my horde.php for the authentication portion:

// This is an example configuration for a MySQL preference backend.
// The SQL script to setup the preference database is placed in
// horde/scripts/db/prefs.sql.
$conf['prefs']['params']['phptype'] = 'mysql';
$conf['prefs']['params']['hostspec'] = 'localhost';
$conf['prefs']['params']['username'] = 'horde';
// $conf['prefs']['params']['password'] = '*****';
$conf['prefs']['params']['password'] = 'milkyway';
$conf['prefs']['params']['database'] = 'horde';
$conf['prefs']['params']['table'] = 'horde_prefs';

So, in my mind the authentication is properly setup.

Maybe it's time to get the bottle of whiskey out and a have a few shots :-)

Thanks for you help.

Mike

Mike,

do you get any errors? Esp. at test.php?

Did you work thru the whole config process?

-  have the correct auth section with /horde/config/horde.php (copying some
lines from the prefs section might be helpful - look there for the whole
array needed)
-  have made the database tables (the scripts are helpful; when changing the
password, change it in horde.php as well)
-  have made users in the user table, password md5'ed

Feel free to ask if more detailled information is needed.
