Can we assume you have configured it in horde/config/*.php as per
horde/docs/INSTALL?  Did you set the authentication to use sql,
and configure it for your sql server?

Use the following sql to create a user "admin" with password "admin"
for mysql:

INSERT INTO horde_users (user_uid, user_pass) VALUES ('admin',
'21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3');

Then login as that user.  You'll want to change the password asap so that
others don't login and mess with your machine.

You don't say which you are using, so I assume mysql.  Should probably
be the same in any case.

See my previous two postings, and/or the list archives, about a problem with
recent PEAR LOG modules not logging.
