'cookie_path => '/horde'

My document root is /var/www/html.  Horde is a symlink 
'/var/www/html/horde' that points to Horde's real home, /opt/horde.  I've 
also tried removing the symlink and placing the horde directory right in 
my document root instead;  no change.  In either case, imp is a 
subdirectory under horde.

$conf['session_name'] = 'Horde';

No error messages; just no output.  I've used both of the following 
configs:

$conf['log']['enabled'] = true;
$conf['log']['type'] = 'syslog';
$conf['log']['name'] = LOG_LOCAL0;
$conf['log']['priority'] = LOG_DEBUG;
$conf['log']['ident'] = 'HORDE';
$conf['log']['params'] = array();

   and

$conf['log']['enabled'] = true;
$conf['log']['type'] = 'file';
$conf['log']['name'] = '/var/log/horde.log';
$conf['log']['priority'] = LOG_DEBUG;
$conf['log']['ident'] = 'HORDE';
$conf['log']['params'] = array();

(In the latter case, I also touched '/var/log/horde.log' and then chmod'ed 
it to 666.)
