[sork] Virtual Web under Cpanel...Vacation Notices not working....

[Eric Rostetter]

Quoting Roger Navarro <rogern at navcomtt.com>:

Bummer.  Can you better explain your setup?

It *can* do this, but doesn't need to.  It can also support, for example,
sql based vacation notices.

It can do this, yes, but doesn't need to (e.g. sql)

No.  Horde knows the password you used to login to Horde.  It asks for the
password again as a security precaution, and/or because the backend may
use a different password than the Horde login.

Sounds reasonable.  The question is why can't it login?

If using ftp...

Try the sql driver, if as I assume your users are stored in SQL.

But I'd need more info to help more.  Maybe someone else who knows
the tools you are using can help.
