Is this still an issue? About 100% sure this would be fixed by the authentication/initialization rewrite in H5.

[Show Quoted Text - 20 lines][Hide Quoted Text] commit aef5a56a6c2e40bcca7ea4f9a213ca9f689ede70 Actually, this has nothing to do with this issue. The problem is in IMP's hooks file. Specifically this: 22. IMP_Hooks->prefs_init() 23. Horde_Registry->call() /var/www/imp/config/hooks.php:29 24. Horde_Registry->callBy Package() /var/www/pear/php/Horde/Registry.php:979 prefs_init() should not be calling other applications via the registry. This is documented in horde/config/hooks.php.dist. However, we (have) a voided this in IMP because it requires authentication. The only way I can think of off the top of my head to bypass this would be to use transparent authentication. Which, on a practical level, should never be used with IMP. The demo site would not happen to be using transparent auth, is it? No. The backend is a Kolab server but the Horde frontend is configured to use SQL and uses no Kolab features. And auth runs against the IMAP server provided by the Kolab server (cyrus). If it helps I can either a) provide you with a clean instance with the same setup as the demo server b) provide you with access to the demo server itself.

[20-Feb-2012 19:43:21] PHP Fatal error: Undefined class constant 'MAX_SIZE' in /var/www/pear/php/Horde/Memcache.php on line 326 This happens when a fatal error occurs before the basic framework is initialized. The error message iteself is completely irrelevant - I believe the issue is that it can not properly log the error because enough of the framework is not initialized yet (chicken/egg problem).

Horde_Registry->pushApp() /var/www/pear/php/Horde/Registry.php:1017 This seems to relate to ~~bug #10403~~ - which is marked resolved. But I'm not 100% certain this means the fatal error is really resolved. I'm also not certain if the log entries indicate an actual problem on the user side. So far the demo server seems okay and there were no reports of stuff not working. I decided to log a bug nevertheless as the log entries are quite frequent: about 15 occurences per hour. Is this something that should be further tracked? I should be able to add some debugging statements on the demo server to get more input.
