[turba] Disappearing contacts from all the personal address books

[Andras Galos]

Hi,

I have a well working Horde 3.1.4 installation, but once, yesterday, 
without any known intervention, all the contacts are disappeared from 
all the address books. No upgrade, change or anything were done I can 
imagine could cause this, but the users start calling saying all the 
same, their address books are empty.

The contacts anyway are still in the sql database, nothing is missing, 
but do not show up in the address books.

Trying to track down what happens, I can state the followings:

- If I click on the My Address Books icon, in the Edit Address Books 
field, the Address Book list is empty, only contains "Select an address 
book to edit".

- If I create a new contact, it appears in the database but not in the 
address book. That remains empty.

- If I create another address book, then a new contact in that, the new 
contact appears in the address book well.

- If I have two address books, the drop down list works well on the 
upper right corner, it shows both of them. My Address Book is empty, the 
other is not, that contains the new contact I created before.

- If I have two address books, the drop down lists on the My Address 
Books page show only the second one, the original My Address Book is 
missing from the delete and edit lists.

- My Address Book appears in the left side Horde menu well, the new 
address book under it.

- I upgraded Horde from 3.1.4 to 3.1.5, no change.

- While all the contacts in the database has the owner_id field with the 
plain login name, the new contact I made, which appears well in the new 
address book, has an MD5-ed looking owner_id field like 
dfb75583bc5d45837f8ece870a00f72a. My login name is galosa, but 
MD5('galosa') is not dfb75583bc5d45837f8ece870a00f72a.


Could somebody help me to find what happened and how the users can get 
their contacts back?

I run out of ideas, I hope some of you can help.


Thank you in advance,
Best regards,
