[horde] horde framework install assist request

[Tony Adams]

I'm attempting a horde install for the purposes of using WebDNS
(https://webdns.bountysource.com/).

 

The systems capabilities test indicates that all is well, with only
minor complaints about PHP's memory_limit (set to 64M) and lack of
PostGres support (I'll be using MySQL).

 

The session counter however does not increment when I refresh the page
and the httpd error log indicates:

 

   PHP Notice:  A session had already been started - ignoring
session_start() in /var/www/html/horde/test.php on line 14

 

A web search indicates that the most common cause for this error is that
in php.ini the session.auto_start is set to 1, mine is set to 0.  The
session.save_path is set to a folder that my apache user has appropriate
privileges for, but no files are generated there when I load the page.
I did notice that the PHP module memcached can be used for an
alternative session storage method, but I've not configured anything to
do with that and unloading the module had no impact on this problem.

 

When I attempt to load the horde index page I do get redirected to
login.php?Horde= but nothing ever appears in my browser, it just looks
as though it is in a refresh or redirect loop.  Indeed the access logs
just loop the following until it eventually gives up or I tell the
browser to stop.

Perhaps I've not found the correct search terms, but neither Google nor
my search of the list archive has netted me an answer.  I'm hoping that
someone has either seen this before or know enough more about the nature
of my problem to point me in the right direction.

 

The OS is WhiteBox Enterprise Linux 4, PHP version is 4.3.9, PEAR
version is 1.4.10.  I don't know if its relevant but Zend engine version
1.3.0 is installed on this machine.

 

If there is other information that I can provide that will be helpful
please let me know.

 

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
