Sorry for that. I tried something to find out, what happens and then I 
forgot to remove that again. I tried, whether $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] is 
retrieving the hostname.

Maybe you called the site, when I was trying the old horde installation. 
Sorry, I cannot really remember, what I tried the last days.
> I think you might be getting close!

No, I DO NOT see the imp login page and NO INSTALLATION WIZARD appears. 
I am still beeing redirected tohttp://horde/login.php

I am sorry, I have the suspicion, that the redirection happens in 
horde/vendor/horde/horde/index.php

I have some sites on this server (Joomla, Worpress, own databased PHP 
projects). Some of the virtualHosts are IP based and others are name 
based. I cannot remember special problems with redirection.

I've been managing this server using openSUSE for almost 10 years now.
