Yes, the main Horde URL is:

http://localhost/horde/

and login is at:

http://localhost/horde/login.php

Any ideas on how to solve this? I know I've got cookies enabled because 
phpMyAdmin depends on it for login.

BTW, I'd like to know how you setup your Horde dirs in a development 
box. The way I've done is through symlinks in the apache docroot, like so:

luciano at arabier:/var/www$ ls -la
total 16
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 2006-06-24 20:09 .
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 2006-06-13 02:05 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 2006-06-13 00:40 apache2-default
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   28 2006-06-20 16:58 horde -> 
/home/luciano/soc/src/horde/
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   19 2006-06-13 00:42 info.php
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   21 2006-06-13 03:13 phpmyadmin -> 
/usr/share/phpmyadmin


That way I can write to the horde tree with my regular (non-root) user 
"luciano".

I've also used symlinks to install horde apps and the framework, because 
I felt the horde dir already has too many sub-dirs, and for a Horde 
newbie like me that was confusing. So here is my 
/home/luciano/soc/src/horde/ dir:

Is that a sensible arrangement?
