That documentation might have worked ten years ago, but it doesn't
today.  Horde 5.2.1 as I understand it is supposed to create the
database automatically.  There was nothing advanced in the Horde 3
days about using PostgreSQL.  Something has obviously changed where
the documentation on the web hasn't.  The create the database step is
erroneous because the scripts directory is gone in Horde 5.2.  My
database of choice is supposed to be supported, better in fact than
MySQL because it is a better database.

With all due respect, I am asking on the public mailing list how to set
up PostgreSQL and I never said I am not willing to pay a reasonable
amount to get the information if necessary.  Rudeness is uncalled for
and will only serve to drive people away from open source products.
