[imp] Failed to connect to the specified directory - again

In fact, it does not work for me.  I still haven't heard from anyone who previously encountered this problem, and how they fixed it.  This did work fine for me before I upgraded to Horde 2.0, IMP 3.0, and Turba 1.0.

I don't see any reason that it shouldn't work given that the preferences work from IMP.  They use virtually the same configuration parameters.  Also, I can't find any logged information about what is failing.  The only information I get is the relatively oblique "Failed to connect to the specified directory" message.

I'll plead once more to the group, does anyone have a clue or hint to the cause of this failure?

Thanks in advance,
Tom Germiat

I had the same problem as you had.

Try this:

        'phptype' => 'mysql',
        'hostspec' => '********',
        'username' => '********',
        'password' => '********',
        'database' => '********',
        'options' => '',
        'tty' => '',
        'port' => '',
        'protocol' => 'tcp',
        'socket' => '',
        'table' => 'turba_objects'


Can you let my know wether it works?

Kind Regards,

Saskia
