[horde] Second attempt Newbie with Ambitions

[Jens Hellermann]

Dear Horde List Members,

for now I gave up using ldap and imp configuration with hooks. That goes 
far above my horizon as a newb. So I believe, keeping it simple might be 
the best idea for the beginning and played a backup in, when ldap wasn't 
configured yet and switched to imap authentication. Together with the 
hordeauth=full feature in the imp backends.local.php (now working for 
some reason) my mailaccount is also authenticated without problem and my 
calendars are shown, too (which it wasn't when I switched from ldap to 
imap auth).

I still wonder though: I set my own mailaccount as administrator and the 
administration interface is shown and can be configured. But I can never 
save my conf.php or other configurations like imp from the webinterface.



So I just copy the configuration into conf.php, but I wonder why this 
happens.

I realized that in a previous installation as well and started to change 
permissions on certain folders with chmod 777 but I guess that is not a 
good idea for security reasons.

Strangely also I can set the preferences (like global preferences or the 
signature in mail preferences) and they are stored in the mysql databse 
(I doublechecked as Steffen asked me to do so, thanks again Steffen) but 
they never get applied when I lock into the webmail interface. The 
interface stays in default value settings, allthough the preferences are 
read also from the database and can be seen in the configuration mask.

The same happens already when I lock on and choose a different language 
for the webinterface. It always stays in default English.

Annyone knows how I could  follow up on this mistake? Your help is 
greatly appreciated, Jens.
