I couldn't sort out what was going wrong logging in, so I sliced into
the code some pretty crude debugging statements.  The results were
logged to a file, which I've pasted into this email below.  The scenario
I'm executing is to point my browser at
"http://www.example.com/horde/imp", after which I get the "welcome to
mail" login screen.  After I attempt to login (which my IMAP server log
indicates succeeded), I am sent back to the login screen with a "Login
failed for some reason..." message.

As near as I can tell, the three isset() and is_array() checks in
IMP::setupSession() fail.  Somehow, HTTP_SESSION_VARS is not getting
correctly populated.  I'm not quite sure how/where it is supposed to be
populated.  David Peoples offered the suggestion that I switch to
file-based session storage, but I haven't yet strapped on my
belt-and-suspenders.  Is it still advisable to do so, or does the
diagnostic output below give anyone a clue as to what's going wrong for
me?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Jim

James,

Are you using a MySQL table to store the PHP session data? If so, I
suspect PHP is not saving your session data, despite the apparent
success of test.php. Try
this: run the test.php page to be sure the variable increments. Then try
to log in to IMP. After the login fails, load the test.php page and try
refreshing again. See if the session-counter still increments. If it now
fails to increment, you have a problem with session data storage in PHP.

This happened to me and I solved it by switching PHP from MySQL-based to
file-based session storage for Horde. I'm not sure, but suspect a
problem in the code I'm using for PHP's SQL session storage, that can't
handle switching back and forth between the Horde database and the
database the session table is in.
