well they were... (I am aware of perms on 1st 2 files)

-rwxrw--w-  1 hinwick  hinwick     14 Apr 11 14:56 .htaccess
-rwxrw--w-  1 hinwick  hinwick  11914 Apr 11 14:13 horde.php
-rw-r-----  1 hinwick  hinwick   4861 Apr 11 09:59 html.php
-rw-r-----  1 hinwick  hinwick  20463 Apr 11 09:59 lang.php
-rw-r-----  1 hinwick  hinwick   9729 Apr 11 09:59 mime_drivers.php
-rw-r-----  1 hinwick  hinwick   4936 Apr 11 09:59 mime_mapping.php
-rw-r-----  1 hinwick  hinwick    140 Apr 11 09:59 motd.php
-rw-r-----  1 hinwick  hinwick   2282 Apr 11 09:59 prefs.php
-rw-r-----  1 hinwick  hinwick  15889 Apr 11 09:59 registry.php

become:-
-rwxrw--w-  1 hinwick  hinwick     14 Apr 11 14:56 .htaccess
-r--r-----  1 root     www      11914 Apr 11 14:13 horde.php
-r--r-----  1 root     www       4861 Apr 11 09:59 html.php
-r--r-----  1 root     www      20463 Apr 11 09:59 lang.php
-r--r-----  1 root     www       9729 Apr 11 09:59 mime_drivers.php
-r--r-----  1 root     www       4936 Apr 11 09:59 mime_mapping.php
-r--r-----  1 root     www        140 Apr 11 09:59 motd.php
-r--r-----  1 root     www       2282 Apr 11 09:59 prefs.php
-r--r-----  1 root     www      15889 Apr 11 09:59 registry.php

Still no change.so I tried....

-rwxrw--w-  1 hinwick  hinwick     14 Apr 11 14:56 .htaccess
-rw-r--r--  1 hinwick  hinwick  11914 Apr 11 14:13 horde.php
-rw-r--r--  1 hinwick  hinwick   4861 Apr 11 09:59 html.php
-rw-r--r--  1 hinwick  hinwick  20463 Apr 11 09:59 lang.php
-rw-r--r--  1 hinwick  hinwick   9729 Apr 11 09:59 mime_drivers.php
-rw-r--r--  1 hinwick  hinwick   4936 Apr 11 09:59 mime_mapping.php
-rw-r--r--  1 hinwick  hinwick    140 Apr 11 09:59 motd.php
-rw-r--r--  1 hinwick  hinwick   2282 Apr 11 09:59 prefs.php
-rw-r--r--  1 hinwick  hinwick  15889 Apr 11 09:59 registry.php

permissions on the config folder....

drwxr-x---   2 hinwick  hinwick   1024 Apr 11 09:59 config

so I changed this to:

chmod o=rx config
drwxr-xr-x   2 hinwick  hinwick   1024 Apr 11 09:59 config

and restarted apache (did this on each change) and finally this 
happened:-

a framed page appeared, top part stating this:

Warning: main(/usr/www/hinwick/horde/imp/config/servers.php) 
[function.main]: failed to create stream: Permission denied in 
/usr/www/hinwick/horde/imp/login.php on line 16

Fatal error: main() [function.main]: Failed opening required 
'/usr/www/hinwick/horde/imp/config/servers.php' 
(include_path='/usr/local/lib/php:.') in 
/usr/www/hinwick/horde/imp/login.php on line 16

So before I change perms all over, how come the Other needs changing and 
not User or Group. Apache is running as:-

User nobody
Group nogroup

but all files within the webspace have account hinwick.hinwick 
everything else non horde works ok.
