Try using file based sessions (the PHP default) in your horde/conf.php

$conf['session']['name'] = 'Horde5';
$conf['session']['use_only_cookies'] = true;
$conf['session']['cache_limiter'] = 'nocache';
$conf['session']['timeout'] = 0;
$conf['session']['max_time'] = 0;
$conf['sessionhandler']['type'] = 'Builtin';
$conf['sessionhandler']['memcache'] = false;

That tripped me up trying to use Memcache for sessions.... It's now
HashTable (IIRC), but I had problems with that too, so I've just fallen
back to SQL.
