[imp] Horde installation - configuring doesn't work

[Steve Williams]

Hi,

I have been trying for a few weeks to get Horde and IMP working on my
Linux box.

I am running Fedora Core 6 on a P4/2.8GHz with 2GB or Ram.

I had tried using the Red Hat package manager to install Horde, and came
across problems when trying to set the SQL backend up on it.

I have created the horde database, with a horde user and password, and
phpmyadmin successfully accesses the horde database.

Each time I try and set it up, I tell it the host name, etc. and then go
to the next page where I am asked to confirm how I would like
horde_prefs set up, (set to use SQL backend). When I click "Generate
config" I get a lot of "Waiting for localhost..." in the status bar of
my browser and it seems to be flapping.

I though there might have been a bug in the source code of the Fedora
package, so I tried removing it, and downloading Horde and IMP from
horde.com but surprisingly get the same problem. This time, however, I
tried removing the horde database and using (per supplied instruction)
the create.mysql.sql script to set up the horde database and tables.

I have also tried configuring Horde to connect to mysql as root which
still gives the same problem. It is not an authentication problem; I
have tested this by putting dummy credentials in and get an auth error
message.

Could anybody suggest where to look. Perhaps the location of Horde 3.1's
logfiles would be a good place but where are they?

Thanks for your time in reading.

Best regards,
Steve Williams
