Hi folks,

I spent several hours trawling through the FAQs and other mailing lists
before posting, but I couldn't find a similar problem to this one. I thought
about starting to hack about with the code, but then I thought there may be
a simple switch for this. Anyway, here we go..

I have a linux machine running on my home network whos name (
gw1.rdgreen.co.uk ) does not get published to any external DNS authorities.
I use the excellent (and may I congratulate all of your contributors for the
app ) horde / imp installation so that I can access my email from anywhere
by port mapping 80 from the firewall to this machine. My problem is this :

If I run imp on a webclient on the machine, then it works fine. If I try
running the web client from any other machine, it tries to "refresh" using
the fully qualified domain name. Now this isn't really a problem if I'm
located in my network, but it IS a problem if I'm say in a web cafe.

Is there a simple way of removing the hostname from the refresh tags ? i.e.
a way of changing the standard tag from :

<input type="hidden" name = "redirect_url" value =Non DNSd hostname being
used for refresh tag.
"https://gw1.rdgreen.co.uk/horde/login.php">

for the value just to read
<"/horde/login.php">

Would I loose the https bit if this happened ? What would be a way to read
the servername from the browser and replace that in there ?

Do I make sense ?!!

Cheers in advance,

Richard.

It is indeed. Check the cookie_domain, sever_name and server_port entries 
in registry.php.

Yes, the certificate is bind to a hostname.

Did you have "UseCanonicalNames On" set in your webserver config - assuming 
you have Apache.

Hm, most people report 3.0 being easier to install, and now that the 
documentation is completed, it should be no great hassle.

What "plugins" do you talk about? PHP extensions? Why don't you trust the 
developers of PHP extensions, but the developers of PHP itself or us, the 
Horde developers?

PEAR gets installed together with PHP. If you want to install pear alone, 
check out http://horde.org/pear/
