[CentOS] has anybody gotten horde working?
Hi, Horde seems to be quite the problem child. It sorta kinda looks like session handling is entirely broken. kronolith will let me in, but not for long. Then I get "invalid token" and am bounced back to the home screen. imp won't let me in at all. This behavior is completely broken: I get a log in screen and a message in /var/log/messages about not being authorized for IMP (which is apparently right up there in the list of useless, meaningless error messages). Looking around on the web, I see a google thread about somebody saying kronolith shouldn't reset session data, and Jan Schneider, the horde developer, I think, insisting that it must. He seems to have his own idea about how things should work--and I'm beginning to wonder if it actually does. Has anybody gotten this working? By the way, this is CentOS 6.5.

If so, I would report to them that it is not working. Or are you trying the software directly from horde.org? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I will do so.> > Or are you trying the software directly from horde.org?I've made this mistake before. A few times. The state of the pear packages is in continual flux. Often they are broken and, if there is an option to install stable versions when newer, broken ones are available, I haven't found it.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 We've been using Horde on CentOS for years, and I'm just about to deploy a new server into production running the latest Horde release on CentOS 6.5. I see later in the thread that you're trying to use the EPEL packages, which are based on the Horde 3 framework. The current stable framework is Horde 5, which is significantly advanced from the Horde 3 framework. I'm deploying Groupware Webmail Edition 5.1.4, which includes turba, trean, kronolith, gollem, ingo, imp, mnemo and nag, plus I've installed passwd separately. There's no doubt that Horde is a complex framework which is designed to work with a wide variety of backend services. It can be tricky to set up due to the level of complexity involved, but it works beautifully once everything is set up properly. I'm using it for a number of virtual domains on one server, with Sendmail, Cyrus IMAPD (including Sieve for filtering) and PostgreSQL with LDAP authentication.

Many people with the simplest use case for Horde (single domain webmail; one server) set up the one required backend in IMP, and then allow Horde to use IMP for authentication, which in effect passes authentication for all of Horde through to the underlying mail server.> Looking around on the web, I see a google thread about somebody > saying kronolith shouldn't reset session data, and Jan Schneider, > the horde developer, I think, insisting that it must.
