the webpage needs need to change from "horde/config" to "base/config: then :)

I have a registry.local.php containing

$app_fileroot = '/usr/share/horde-beta/';
$app_webroot = '..';
#$app_webroot = '/';

/usr/share/horde-beta/ is the folder from which Apache serves the
files and contain the symlinks.
It's copied from the previous registry.local.php I had/have.

So, my previous git clone was in /usr/share/git-horde5

It obviously contains a ton of *.local.php modifications.

Originally my plan was to overright /usr/share/git-horde5 with new git
clone, so that the *.local.php would stay in place.   I couldn't get
that to work, hence the new git clone is in
/usr/share/20202-git-horde.  So, the question is largely redundant, I
can manually copy them over.

Currently I am facing a white page of death, having copied over
horde/config/conf.php and horde/config/registry.local.php into the
base/config directory.
