First it would be a good idea to let folks know which versions of everything you
are trying to use, what errors you are seeing in the browser and those that are
found in your horde.log, messages, slapd.log, httpd-error.log, etc.  As far as
the schema is concerned, I would recommend that you not modify core.schema. 
There should be a horde.schema in horde/scripts/ldap.  I usually just do a

ln -s /usr/local/www/data/horde/scripts/ldap/horde.schema \
/usr/local/etc/openldap/schema

The above is all on one line and they are my paths, yours will probably be
different.  Then just kill slapd a restart.

Then I would recommend that you assure that you have a working ldap
configuration by using the command line interface, adding a few users and
searching to see if it is working as you expect.  After that the configuration
should be trivial because it is mostly the same that you tested with the
command interface.

If you continue to have problems you should probably send the items mentioned
above and your specific configuration.

Good luck.  You have some work to do, I'm afraid.
