Configuring Horde

Uh, oh, I should probably remove the setup.php script altogether. This  
is meant for the standard Horde-Groupware setup and has nothing to do  
with Kolab.

No. One of the central points of the Kolab concept is to have no such  
database. MySQL is not needed. The user data is kept where it is  
remeains accessible to the user: in IMAP.

You can only configure Horde via the configuration files on a Kolab  
server. All the standard Horde tools (setup scripts, administration  
through the web frontend) are good for a standard Horde setup but not  
for the Kolab server setup.

It is extremely easy to break the Horde setup on a Kolab server  
completely when playing around with the configuration. So I tried to  
hide those details.

Of course, if you know Horde well, you will be able to modify it to  
your needs. These problems might go away with the next Horde version  
but for now I would strongly suggest to directly edit the config files.

Cheers,

Gunnar
