; Name of the session (used as cookie name).
session.name = PHPSESSID

In httpd.conf:

 Redirect /webmail https://www.fcs.uga.edu/horde/imp

In httpd.conf:

<VirtualHost webmail.fcs.uga.edu>
  ServerName webmail.fcs.uga.edu
  DocumentRoot /www/horde
  Redirect / https://webmail.fcs.uga.edu/horde/imp/
</VirtualHost>
