how's your experience level with debugging such things? At least to  
me, this excerpt of messages isn't too helpful:

- the browser sends various requests to the web server... I'd like to  
see the corresponding entry in the server's access log for the failing  
request, even if it's only to determine which exact request is failing.

- the server then forwards the requests to the PHP environment ("Horde  
application"), which has its own log file. What's in there?

- the http server detects a problem and logs errors (those messages  
you quoted seem to be those messages)

I see that the CGI program (seems to me you're running PHP via  
FastCGI) doesn't return anything, probably due to a bail-out after  
some error in the PHP part.

The name of the host Horde is running on. I haven't checked what it's  
used for, though.
