[imp] Nothing being written to /tmp/horde.log

[Jim Adams]

Hello All:
I have just completed installing Horde 2.2.3 and IMP 3.2.1.  While both
Horde and IMP (along with Turba 1.2) are all seemingly working fine (logging
in/out, reading and sending mail, looking up contacts from LDAP directory),
the /tmp/horde.log file is still at 0 bytes (it is being created, but
nothing written to it).

I am running this on Red Hat 9 with the following packages:
httpd-2.0.40-21.1
php-4.2.2-17
sendmail-8.12.8-5.90
pear-1.0.1

horde/test.php pages are saying I'm using correct versions of needed
packages.

The permission settings on the /tmp/horde.log are as follows:
--------------------
drwxrwxrwt   12 root     root         4096 May  2 09:38 /tmp

-rw-r--r--    1 apache   apache          0 May  2 08:59 /tmp/horde.log
--------------------

I have also verified that logging is enabled:  ** (see bottom if curious)
/etc/php.ini is also set for logging:  *** (ditto)


I've searched the FAQ pages and found no reference to this sort of problem.
I've also searched the archives where I found one recent similar event
mentioned:

Just to put this to rest, I found a patch to horde/lib/Horde.php
that fixed it... logging now works  YAY!!!!

------------------------------------------

I've tried several different lib/Horde.php files from the CVS web tree.  The
most recent one broke everything (1.287), so I went and found a version that
has comments stating that the previous broke logging and I'm making the
assumption that this version fixed it again  (1.118.2.41 by Chuck Hagenbuch)
this was from about a month after the above comments where posted to the
list.  I put that one into place, but no change with logging.  Can anyone
steer me in the right direction on which version of lib/Horde.php fixes the
logging problem or if the patch mentioned above is a completely different
file located some where else in the CVS tree or if I am overlooking some
other possible cause?

Thanks in advance for any and all help!
