     /usr/share/horde-beta/lib/../static == /usr/share/horde-beta/static

I use the following (which works fine here):

     drwxr-x--- 2 wwwrun www 45056 feb 28 09:59 /srv/www/htdocs/horde/static

I do note though that the number of files in this directory keeps  
growing. They never seem to be expired, which seems odd. I expected  
that cached files would have a limited lifespan and probably can  
safely removed anyway as the javascript files themselves are removed  
(some of the files in this directory have a timestamp of several  
months ago, I doubt the javascript and/or CSS files are still on the  
server).
