While trying to diagnose the issue I came across this in test.php:

Local File Permissions

Is /usr/share/horde-beta/lib/../static writable by the web server user? No
If caching javascript and CSS files by storing them in static files
(HIGHLY RECOMMENDED), this directory must be writable as the user the
web server runs as.

both lib and static (and I cannot find a static directory in any
subpath of lib) are writeable by the apache server group, but owned by
root.  What are the recommended permissions for these directories?

Thanks.
