How about the admin faq?  I'm not sure if it is correct/working, but
it is in there.

Cool.

The faq says to add to this:

Alias /imp/ "/web/html/horde/imp"

and you might want to add additional ones like that for the other
modules (turba, etc).

> Then in the registry.php for horde I changed:

That's *Probably* correct, though I don't know for sure.  But you also
have to change the webroot for the other apps (imp, turba, etc).  This 
assumes that the other modules are installed under /horde/ and not under
/horde/imp/ of course, which they really should be.

This is probably due to session setup.  If you are using cookies, then
you need to set the "cookie_path" variables in registry.php correctly
for the new base path. By default the cookie_path is I think "/horde"
and you probably want to set it to "/" instead.

> Anyone done this with the latest Horde/IMP?

Nope.  But if you try out the above, let me know the results.  If it helps/works
I'll add the info to the FAQ, which is rather sketchy in this area.

harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
