Lines 70 and 71 read:

$GLOBALS['calendar'] = &Kronolith_Driver::factory($conf['calendar']['driver'],
$conf['calendar']['params']);
$GLOBALS['calendar']->open(Auth::getAuth());

So, it is failing in the second line.  The most reasonable reason for the
failure is that the first line failed for some reason. Unfortunately,
no check was made for the success or failure of the factory() call...

Even in CVS HEAD we don't seem to check the return value...  I'm not
expert, but this seems like a problem.  I would think we should make
some check, and report an error if the factory() call fails...

You might try changing the above to something like:

$GLOBALS['calendar'] = &Kronolith_Driver::factory($conf['calendar']['driver'],
$conf['calendar']['params']);
if ($GLOBALS['calendar'] === false) {
   Horde::fatal(new PEAR_Error(_("Couldn't create calendar instance")),
          __FILE__, __LINE__);
}
$GLOBALS['calendar']->open(Auth::getAuth());

That should tell you if the factory() call is failing or not.

Try this, if you have a stand-alone php command: php -l conf.php
and see if it reports any problems  with the file's syntax.

Yes, no doubt as Horde does a kronolith api call.
