[kronolith] Alarm

[Craig White]

I vaguely recall having to set up horde vfs for this to work (that's not
on the wiki page though...hmmm)

You might want to look at the archive of this list for the month of
December or January.

Also - did you verify that you have a cli version of php (per the link I
sent you to) ?  php -v

The DB Error: connect failed is rather suspicious...did you check
out /tmp/horde.log ?  AFAIK, the reminders.php script should use the db
settings in horde/config/conf.php so if the program can connect and
read/write to db, the reminders.php should be able to as well.

Craig

(meant to send to list) - must need sleep...big game tomorrow
