Jasper,

Glad  you got this straigtened out.

I'd be interested in hearing more about the errors you had with mysql  
and ldap.  I'm not sure if you are saying that the newer versions of  
mysql and ldap aren't working for you, or if the migration didn't work?

I'm using horde6 in a test environment with postgresql without issue.

Original thread below for context.
