You should not be running this from the web. Run it from the command line.

No.

'Horde_Shares' are the mechanism that allows the sharing of resources  
(address books, calendars, bookmarks, photo galleries etc...) across  
horde users.  Shares are created (if the application supports them)  
transparently to the end user when they create a new resource (address  
book in this case) via the horde interface.

As the comments in the script explain, this script takes an address  
book that was originally set up as a global address book in Turba  
versions earlier than 2.1 and converts that address book to work in  
Turba 2.1.

The 'old way' of doing shared address books meant that you had one  
address book that every one could see and/or write to.  Using  
Horde_Share allows finer control over permissions to determine who can  
and can't read/write to an address book.  In addition, with the  
Horde_Share support in Turba, users can now create new address books  
and choose who to share it with.  If you are looking for information  
on developing with Horde_Share, look at the framework/Share package.
a new addressbook.

> Please give me a little more detailed informations.

To make an already long story short.  If you have not been using your  
SQL source as a global address book prior to Turba 2.1, then don't  
worry about the script, it won't do anything for you anyway.

You can also read turba/config/sources.php.
