Sorry - bad wording - it is an Alias of course (otherwise the log entries below wouldn't have worked.  I have this in my vhost.

         Alias /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync /usr/share/horde4/rpc.php

Well, I get a different result if I use the Administrator login - about 159.72 KB of debug output starting like:


A fatal error has occurred
Horde_Log_Handler_Stream: "" cannot be opened with mode "a+"

1. Horde_Injector->getInstance() /usr/share/horde4/rpc.php:96
2. Horde_Injector->createInstance() /usr/share/php/Horde/Injector.php:248
3. Horde_Injector_Binder_Factory->create() /usr/share/php/Horde/Injector.php:213
4. Horde_Core_Factory_ActiveSyncBackend->create() /usr/share/php/Horde/Injector/Binder/Factory.php:111
5. Horde_Log_Handler_Stream->__construct() /usr/share/php/Horde/Core/Factory/ActiveSyncBackend.php:16
6. Horde_Log_Handler_Stream->__wakeup() /usr/share/php/Horde/Log/Handler/Stream.php:86

Details
The full error message is logged in Horde's log file, and is shown below only to administrators. Non-administrative users will not see error details.

But you're right - as I mentioned, nothing is being put into the sync.log - and since sending the email I noticed nothing is being put into the horde.log either!

Here are my settings for that:

48 $conf['log']['priority'] = 'INFO';
 49 $conf['log']['ident'] = 'HORDE';
 50 $conf['log']['ident'] = 'HORDE';
 51 $conf['log']['name'] = '/var/log/horde/horde4.log';
 52 $conf['log']['params']['append'] = true;
 53 $conf['log']['params']['format'] = 'default';
 54 $conf['log']['enabled'] = true;
 55 $conf['log_accesskeys'] = false;

Here are my directory permissions:
drwxr-x---  3 root   adm       4.0K Sep 18 06:26 apache2/
drw-rw----  2 root   www-data  4.0K Aug  8 21:32 horde/

Perhaps I need to make them the same as the apache ones?

But is an inability to write to the log a reason for the set-up failure?

OK - that's what the majority of my attempts were though (username at mydomain.net) - this is how I log into Horde.  I only tried the others because I'm not familiar with Activesync.

Actually I didn't - when I move to that screen the mydomain.net:443 is already there - I just added the webmail. because it's needed.

Thanks.
