[horde] Recovering Horde

[siondrifter at aim.com]

I was able to recover everything.? For anyone else who has this problem, and relies on the mailing list (god forbid) here's what I did...

Unzipping the tar backup files I had been backing up gave me a few errors, so I reinstalled everything from scratch, and manually edited the config files to how I had them.? Then I created a blank mysql database named 'horde' and created a user for that database with the same username/password I had used before.? Then I imported the backup horde.sql file like this:

#mysql -u root -p horde < /path/to/backup/horde.sql

and that seemed to do the trick.? All of our addressbooks, calendars and preferences came across.? But I did have to manually set up Horde as if from scratch.

Looking back, I may not have had all of the supporting pear apps installed when I unzipped the tarball backups, but since everything is back up and running on our production mail server (and the clone I now have) I'll worry about that later.








Subject: [horde] Recovering Horde



Our mail server died.

I have the horde.sql backed up, as well as the ~/www/horde directories.? 

On the new server, I have installed the base applications, but before I 
configure them, I was wondering if there is a cannonical way to restore the 
applications to the state they were in before it went down.

I believe I know how to restore the mysql databases.? 'mysql -u {username} -p 
{password}?{database name 'horde'}?< horde.sql

As far as the horde applications themselves, would it be possible to simply copy 
the ~/horde/* directories that I had saved?over top of the 'defaults'?

Thank you greatly for any help in this.
