So I created a whole new space for Horde 5, and followed the instructions for installing it through PEAR, found at http://www.horde.org/apps/horde/docs/INSTALL [1] The problems started when I came to this step: Creating databases Once you created the database configuration in the previous step, you can create all database tables by hitting the Update all DB schemas button in the configuration screen. The database "horde5" had already been created, along with the user and the password. Apparently, creating the database failed somewhere during the process, and now I get the error at the end of my post. Dropping the database and starting anew has done nothing to solve this problem. Neither has re-creating the username and password, or scrubbing the Horde config file and starting over. I would *like* to be able
to set up the database schema manually through MySQL, but I can't find any way of doing that, or database tables for MySQL anywhere in the installed code.

What 'horde-migrate' script?

www3:/home/webmail.ourdomain.com/public_html/horde5# find . -name
horde-migrate
www3:/home/webmail.ourdomain.com/public_html/horde5# locate
horde-migrate
www3:/home/webmail.ourdomain.com/public_html/horde5# 

I don't see any 'horde-migrate' script. 

Nevermind the fact that we've long given up on migrating our old
database to the new format. The migration has never been anything short
of a complete disaster. We're starting a whole new installation with a
different database.
