[horde] Horde cannot read or write files unless allow by "other" permissions

[James Mohr]

Greetings!

I'm running Horde Groupware 5.2.22 on Fedora 31. I moved the databases  
from another machine and loaded them. the calendar and they seem to be  
fine in that I can log into Horde and see my data. The problem is that  
I can only change the configuration if the respective conf.php and  
conf.bak.php allow writng by "other".

- httpd is running as wwwru, The user wwwrun is also a member of the  
group wwwrun.
- The owner and group of the respective conf.php and conf.bak.php  
files is wwwrun:wwwrun
- selinux is disabled:
[root at sonne config]# sestatus
SELinux status:                 disabled

With  journalctl -xe I see entries like this:

As far as I can tell, this is simply telling me the same thing I get  
from the WebGui.

If I do an "su wwwrun", I can write to the files. This tells me that  
it not a file permissions issue, but rather httpd "thinks" it is a  
different user, which is not part of the wwwrun group. Whatever that  
"something" is that is telling httpd how to behave is beyond me at  
this point. I would be grateful for any tips.
