>I have full root access to the servers as I own them - hardware and all - as I run a small hosting business.  I don't know how Horde4 can be installed because it isn't anywhere on the system.  I also did a "grep" command to look and nothing.  The default install location must be set to /usr/share/php/www/horde - I'm not completely sure - but is there a manual way that this could be overwritten - as in this path being stored in a file somewhere?
