[horde] Where does the Address book reside?

[Etienne Goyer]

I did not answered earlier because I am not familiar with PSA7 (whatever 
that is).  I see nobody else answered, so I will give it a shot.

Usually, personnal address book are kept in an SQL database.  The name 
of the database is (default) horde, and the table that keep the contact 
information itself is called turba_objects.

How you would salvage the database from your damaged depend on the SQL 
databse.  I suppose this is MySQL; if it is the case, the database file 
are located in /var/lib/mysql/.  If you take the horde/ subdir there, 
and drop it in the /var/lib/mysql dir of your new server and restart 
MySQL, your Horde database should be available again.  Of course, if you 
use another database server (ie PostgreSQL), this would be different.

Maybe your user's prefs where also kept in the SQL database; if this is 
the case, you would notice that all the prefs of your users (like custom 
identities) are also lost.  You could restore these just like explained 
above.

YMMV, as I am not entirely sure about you are setup.  Please follow up 
with any questions you may have.

Good luck!
