[horde] Re: Debugging my problems

[Rob Brandt]

Progress in my problems.  Switching to the print_r() function
instead of var_dump() does not result in a segmentation fault. 
So:

In admin/setup.php, starting at line 43, I have:

echo "vars: ", print_r($vars), "<br>";
$php = $config->generatePHPConfig($vars);
echo "<br>php: ", print_r($php), "<br><br>";

My interpretation of the code is that the first echo should
display an array of values previously set in the form; the second
should display what the "finished product" config file should look
like, with settings and their values.  Here is the output when I
run the script:

php:

Writing not possible. Copy this code manually to
/var/www/html/horde/config/../imp/config/conf.php
----------------------------------------------------------------
 (I have the file currently unwritable so that I don't have to go
and reset it every time I try to save the config.  The displayed
values to copy are all empty.)

So valid $var values are being passed to the generatePHPConfig,
but nothing is coming out of it!  And what alarms me is one of the
last few lines spit out of $vars: "[POSTNUKESID] =>
badbffff543b36ffe0dc98fe6e551ee4"  What the h*ll is that?  Yes,
I've got a bunch of PostNuke installations on this machine, and
yes horde is running in a subdirectory of one of those
installations (it's a link, actually).  But I don't have any
PostNuke sessions even running anywhere as far as I can tell. 
Cookie confusion?  Session problems?  :'O
