Horde Groupware Webmail Edition
I like Horde quite much, it provides a comfortable web mailer (IMP) and some nice extra tools which give you a really comfortable groupware feeling with it... if you manage to set it up, once. By now, this has been quite a pain in the ass, which is why I did not upgrade my installation for a longer time. Though, now it was time to do so, because I already missed several security updates and bug fixes.
When visiting the Horde website, I noticed a new application bundle, called "Horde Groupware Webmail Edition". This bundle actually provides all applications I had to install manually before. So instead of upgrading each application on its own, I moved away my old horde directory and backed up the database content. After that, I just followed the quick-install-guide provided for the new groupware bundle (took about 5 minutes for the setup). I re-imported my database content and adjusted the servers-settings for IMP to do proper authentication. And wonder what: It worked like a charm. :)
Thanks to the Horde guys for finally providing a package, which ultimately satisfies my needs and is so easy to setup!

How did you adjust the server-settings for IMP to do proper authentication? I'm new to Horde and am having difficulty logging in for the first time on the Webmail Groupware edition I downloaded. Any help would be much appreciated. TIA. :)

You should be logged in automatically for the first time. After that, you can configure, which login mechnism to use.

Toby,
Link to commentI am very new to Horde. I loaded it the first time a couple of days ago. However, I have never been able to get it to load the first time. It generally just sits and spins (the progress indicator just continues to load more bars and then just stops). I am running on Win XP Pro with PHP 5.2.3 and Apache 2.2 and MySQL 5. I have followed the installation instructions to the letter several times to no avail.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Mark
