I also see that the webuser can't write to the static directory on  
your production server:

Is /srv/www/htdocs/horde/web/static writable by the web server user? No

I don't think this is necessary...but...something to check since other  
permissions issues might exist. I usually run the composer program as  
the  webuser. Failing that, just chwon -R and chgrp -R the  
/srv/www/htdocs/horde directory (in your case).
