I'm a long-time Horde admin and I'm having a fair bit of trouble  
trying to get the composer horde installed and running at all on a php  
8.0 or php 8.1 system. I know it isn't stable and ready for primetime.

On php8, I can get the login screen up (just trying to get Horde with  
Imp first). I can login, but I just get a whitescreen with no data.  
Looking at debug logs, I am getting:

Using a php 8.1 system, I get the login screen up, but no matter WHAT  
I do in the configuration (even copying the config from the php 8.0  
install), I can't get past the imp auth error after login:

  A FATAL ERROR HAS OCCURRED

  IMP IS MARKED AS AUTHENTICATED, BUT NO CREDENTIALS CAN BE FOUND IN  
THE SESSION.

  (   I don't know how composer works. I don't know how to have  
composer go out and fetch any updates. I've installed horde and imp  
with the dev-FRAMEWORK_6_0 or "^7" tag in hopes of pulling in the  
right information.  Any tips on how to actually do an install and  
perform updates would be appreciated.  Here's the basic gist of what I  
do:  git clone https://github.com/maintaina-com/horde-deployment.git  
horde dev-FRAMEWORK_6_0 cd horde composer install dev-FRAMEWORK_6_0  
composer require horde/imp dev-FRAMEWORK_6_0  So...how do I download  
updates? (what replaces pear list-upgrades)?  Thanks!  brent
