[horde] Login.php in an endless redirect loop

[Stuart Moore]

Now solved.

For reference, if anyone else comes across this: the value of 
$conf['cookie']['path'] in conf.php was incorrect, leading to the login 
page setting the cookie, redirecting, seeing it was unset, redirecting 
with a url based session, then attempting to set the cookie again.

Sounds like I was seeing the same problem as Craig, but he mentions 
setting the cookie path so maybe his has a different root. Craig: maybe 
try playing with $conf['session']['use_only_cookies'] = false?
