Actually, your documentation invites this trouble. Quoting from section 
4 of the horde SECURITY document:

"Note that the last line makes all files unwritable by any user (only 
root can override this). This makes the site secure, but may make it 
more difficult to administrate. In particular, it will defeat the Horde 
administrative configuration interface, forcing you to update the Horde 
configuration files manually (as per the INSTALL instructions)."

In particular, the last sentence seems to imply that the INSTALL file 
will give me all I need to configure things manually.

I thought relying on GUI-based administration was the domain of legacy 
operating systems.
