This only applies to CVS HEAD versions.  Rakim and Jonah are CVS HEAD
applications (no release yet).

Because you installed the release versions, which have no admin interface.

The answer is you can't mix CVS HEAD and release versions.

Then you can't run Jonah or Rakim as they are CVS HEAD only.  To run them
you need CVS HEAD of horde (and everything else you  want to install).

Yes. See above.

It really has been covered on the mailing list a million times, and it is
documented on the web site that you can't mix HEAD and release versions.

In CVS HEAD only.

No.

They have *NEVER* worked with Horde 2.x.
