The best place is a mailing list like this, thus Chuck forwarded your

Why not? Just had a short look over that site  - seems to be quite common.
Having a look to the prerequisites horde requires: a running web server, PHP
and some minor stuff, and - as long as needed - a database. IIUC, LAMPP is
just a kind of distri, not a quite special thing.

Why not fixing them?

What is the exact problem you have? Which errors?

Sorry, but this is not true. Horde runs quite well with PHP4 (for it can run
with PHP4 only). As for me, I cannot prove Apache 2 yet, but besides the
specific probs the earlier versions of A2 has (esp. encryption...), I wouldn't
expect any horde-specific.

If you'd ask a real question, certainly someone could help you. "Doesn't
work at all" is not a very good description. If you'd feed us with some details
(e.g. system, server, which horde version, which applications, how to
authenticate etc.), a more productive answer is pretty much expectable.

Kind regards,
