[imp] Updating Pear on a RH7.2 system --- I got it working!

[Ty Christensen]

I was using IE6 and Mozilla something-or-other to test this thing, and they
were requesting the correct pages (index.php in the various directories).

-BUT

I figured out what the problem was, and it unlocked all sorts of things.  In
the older version of Imp, I had to specify "/" as the mail root directory.
I'm using UW-IMAP, BTW.  I assumed that I had to specify the same for the
newer version.  NOT!

Anyway, I now have "mail/" specified as the root dir.  I know, I should have
read the blurb directly above that setting in the comments section...  :^)

I managed to get Horde to auth via MySQL or Imp, so that problem is solved.
I don't think I was using the right method to md5 the password for sql, and
now that Imp can actually communicate with a server correctly, it can
authenticate too.

Hey, I was so happy, I even figured out how to get Turba and Kronolith to
work with MySQL.  :^)

Now I'm on to work out the little details...but I'm much happier.

Thanks to Chuck and all for the help and insight.

Later,
Ty

The fundamental question is, what is your browser trying to load? And why
isn't
it finding it? When you get the 404, what requests show up in your browser's
error log?

Well, David; your fantastic help has paid off.  If you ever plan to hit the Toronto area, drop me a line 'cause I owe you just about a KEG 
full of beer...

I turned on PHP logging as you suggested, and the warnings popping up in there were confusing - I seemed to have a bunch of uninitialized 
arrays.  But I finally managed to figure out what was wreaking havoc with my file-based session storage...  It all comes down to one, dumb, 
stupid, mistake in config/horde.php.  Can you spot it?:

$conf['horde']['sitename'] = 'CompEuphoria's Webmail Interface';

DOHHH!

Afterwards I had some preferences-related problems, because initially I didn't grasp the distinction between Horde's method of 
authorization (which may be sql), and Horde' session-storage (which may also be sql).  I was getting the dreaded "unable to connect to 
MYSQL" error for a while, until I sorted things out.  But everything now seems to be working fine;  I'm replying via IMP2.3, and I've 
managed to save some preferences.  Man, this new interface is slick!

Incidentally, correcting the typo in config/horde.php also corrected the problems I was having re: no horde logging output.  It's pretty 
sparse (as Chuck indicated), but it's there...

Now, to get some attachment-handlers working, and ultimately, to wire in Turba.

Thanks again, sir - I really owe you!

Jim
