We should at least change our docs to indicate that the change should happen in the apache configuration rather than the ".htaccess" file. The latter only works until the next update and leads to confusion.

Of course this breaks all non-PEAR installations :/

I think the enforcing it by default is probably the best "fits most cases" scenario, with notes in INSTALL about what to do if SetEnv is not allowed in the .htaccess file.

Ping, Horde developers?

Any opinions on this?

Would it be possible to use a PEAR "replace" task in the package.xml for those two lines? I'm not sure if it's really a good idea to enforce these settings on everyone, especially if we don't know whether SetEnv is allowed for .htaccess in the server configuration. OTOH it would also help people who did install through system-wide PEAR, but don't have it in their include_path.

I wish .htaccess files could use the Include directive. Unless someone has a bright idea, I guess we need to change the docs to tell the users to create the configuration in the Apache configuration file. Of course this won't work if the user installs into a separate directory because he only has limited access to the system. :-(

http://www.horde.org/apps/horde/docs/INSTALL suggests modifying /var/www/horde/.htaccess to point PHP's include_path setting to the PEAR installation and the PHP_PEAR_SYSCONF_DIR environment variable to the web root when using a separate pear installation. This file is overwritten and modifications are lost on upgrade.
