Thanks, Jan.  It's really incredible.  I spend 6 months with this 
problem.  Of course I gave up every few days and revisited it again 
trying to figure out the solution.  I did lots of ready over the 
months.  I have tons of book marks of which I followed all the 
suggestions step by step.  The problem is mentioned a number of times, 
but none of the suggestions in the forms work.

Most of the people, once they have a solution, they'll just way it 
solved, but don't post any details about how they resolved it.

I really appreciate your taking the time to quickly offer assistance.  
However, that's not the answer that resolves the issue.

The answer is very simple.  Hopefully my description here will help some 
other poor soul that is pledged with this problem.  Also, will someone 
post a followup to this message and tell me where this fix is listed in 
any documentation.  There are lots of references to the 
"/usr/share/horde3/lib/Horde/Registry.php" file.  The references I find 
seems the suggest that, that file is supposed to be edited to fix the 
problem.  I even tried to figure out where to edited the file and made 
changes, then put it back to it's original.

It turns out the solution is to edit the 
"/etc/horde/horde3/registry.php" file.  Of course the exact location of 
your registry.php file may depend on your distro.  But the file to fix 
the problem is "registry.php" not "Registry.php".

Of course all the details for using the registry.php file is actually in 
the file.  But I didn't know out of the hundred's of php files that I 
had to read that particular one in such details.  I had already spend 
hours on many of the other php files before I got to that one.  Of 
course I also spent many countless hours in the actually Administration 
control panel where you just suggested that I look.  I don't believe the 
control is there.  If it is, I can't believe I missed it ll these months.

The solution is simple.  Just change "inactive" to "active" in the 
registry.php file and you're in business.

I read lots of references of how hard and complicated horde is. However, 
I find it very easy if you know this particular part.  When I first 
started out 6 months ago I made it to the same place I got stuck at in 
less than 20 minutes.  If this little tidbit had been included in docs 
where I could have easily found it, I would have been up and running in 
20 minutes rather than the months I spent studying horde.

Thanks again for anyone who will point to that item in any of the FAQ's 
or setup steps.
