Good... that's progress.  Did the segmentation faults disappear from the
logs?  It sounds like mcrypt was the first issue, and you cleared the

First, let's see if your PHP sessions are working properly.  Try visiting
the horde/test.php page from your browser... make sure everything's green,
and that when you refresh the page that the counter at the bottom
increments.

Caution with that document; it needs work.  We've had some discussions
about writing new install documents for the 2.3 branch; visit us on the
<doc@lists.horde.org> list if you're interested.
