Thanks Rob !  That did it!  I agree with you that they
should include that section higher up where it belongs
with the ['auth'] tags.....or at least put it there
and comment it out!!

I do however have another problem....I now get the
error:

fatal error has occurred:
Unable to connect to SQL server.
[line 119 of /var/www/html/horde/lib/Auth/sql.php]
Details have been logged for the administrator.

In my horde.php - 

$conf['auth']['params']['phptype'] = 'mysql';
$conf['auth']['params']['hostspec'] = 'localhost';
$conf['auth']['params']['username'] = 'horde';
$conf['auth']['params']['password'] = '*****';
$conf['auth']['params']['database'] = 'horde';
$conf['auth']['params']['table'] = 'horde_prefs';

When I try to connect through the shell - 
mysql -u horde -p horde 

it connects fine.....

What is going on here??
