There is no "admin" account in 2.2.  Just normal accounts.

I'm not sure if Horde 2.2 will read the $conf['sql'] array for auth or not.
But from the below, I would say it doesn't, and you need to set it yourself.

If so, you will need to set up $conf['auth']['params'] like you did
$conf['sql'] above.  Someone else on the list can answer with more 
authority.

Pretty much says it all.  You need to specify phptype.  And probably
all the others.

Try something like:

$conf['auth']['params']['phptype'] = 'sql';

and so on for all the settings.

Should be in your system log files.

No, it all goes into horde.php.

Fine.  Or FAQ submissions would be great too.
