I read that one, but since I'm on a shared hosting, I can't change the 
apache vhosts. What I can do is to link hordes web to be the 
DocumentRoot of my subdomain.

It then requires a "RewriteBase /" in the .htaccess file of the 
DocumentRoot.

I then end up with the vendor/vendor Problem. Did a fresh (empty) 
install to verify the problem.
My best guess is, that there is some combination of a path in some 
variable in combination with a relative path starting with "../../../" 
or similar. Which then endup in the vendor-path instead one up in the 
horde path. (hope that makes some sence?)

So it might still take a while till this might work, but it can very 
well be the case that my hoster is deactivating the last 7.x php version 
before that, which will leave me loosing all may calendar data (or at 
least in a very difficult to recover version.)

So as sad as that is, since I very
  much like horde, I have to search fro a Plan B.
