[horde] Details of CPanel Horde configuration?

[Ken Lowther]

I just cut out my tirade about Cpanel and will leave it at, "Don't muck 
with it".  They stuck a bunch of 'free' software  together and charge 
for it and on my box, lots of it isn't properly integrated to start 
with.  (I only have it because some easily impressed customers like it)  
My more knowledable customer go on my custom built box.  Go to the 
Interchange site and see what they say to Cpanel customers before you 
decide to poke too deeply.

If you decide to go more deeply be aware that they patch patches so as 
not to break   backwards compatability.  This could cause you MAJOR 
headaches trying to upgrade Horde, especially when it comes to data base 
issues.  If you decide to go ahead, make sure you understand the changes 
in the database structure before you even comptemplate making changes.  
Horde changed some database structures a while back and they have some 
upgrade scripts.  I have NO idea if they would work against the Cpanel 
install.  For example, Cpanel seems to be using a patched Exim 3 config 
to run Exim 4.  To them it probably isn't an easy thing to do the db 
upgrades that would be needed by the newer Horde installs.  Too much 
risk of breaking things for customers.  I turned off the automatic 
security upgrades after they broke the mail a couple of times.
