Horde problem: Can't contact LDAP server

[Vladislav Tchernev]

Hello, 
FYI, looking through the code I figured out that the reason for the problem is 
that in the  /kolab/lib/php/Horde/Prefs/ldap.php the $params['hostspec'] is 
not initializing correctly and it turns out to be empty .. I have hardcoded 
the  $params['hostspec'] to 127.0.0.1 and now , horde can connect to ldap 
server and authenticate the users. Since horde is working for you guys, that 
means that this is not a bug and the problem is on my side so I am living 
this like that for now .. I am facing now another problem thought .. setting 
up truba and kronolith from Horde->Setup make the left menu disappear after 
the config files are generated  ... I will try looking around for this 
problem first before opening a new thread.

Best regards
Vlad
