Let me see if I can install into a directory so the URL required is  
<somedomain.something>/horde. I've not done that, so i don't know  
offhand if there's an issue. It SHOULD work. You will certainly need  
to modify the cookie so that the horde cookie is /horde and not just  
"/", which is the default. This is in the main conf.php file.

$conf['cookie']['path'] = '/';  # should be changed to '/horde'

I don't know if the session cookie domain needs to be modified:

$conf['cookie']['domain'] = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];

I think that should be fine. It'll take me a little while to spin this up.
