[turba] restoring an old turba install, once and for all

[Robert P. J. Day]

  ok, now that i finally have some time and don't need to frantically
panic, i want to restore (previously somewhat broken) turba
functionality to an up-to-date installation, and i'll do that by
asking some *very* specific questions.

  first, i've saved everything of potential value in that the mysql
database has all four old addressbooks, and i've archived the old
horde/turba directory out of the way, since i prefer to install from
scratch and not take a chance on having old cruft and baggage messing
things up.

  the horde framework itself is version 3.3.4 -- one micro-version
behind but that should be perfectly adequate.

  next, do the obvious -- download turba-h3-2.3.2, unload it under the
horde/ directory (rename it to "turba"), touch *nothing* about it, and
pop over to horde/config/registry.php and simply set turba's status to
active. change nothing else.  now when i go into horde, i can see the
"Addressbook" icon under "organizing," but (trivially) if i click on
it, i'm told that "Some of Turba's configuration files are missing or
unreadable."  well *of course* they are -- i fully expected that since
i haven't configured the sources yet.  up to here, everything's gone
exactly as planned.

  at this point, the real work kicks in and i need to add the
appropriate entries to turba/config/sources.php.  i have 4
addressbooks to do, but i'll just worry about one -- if i can restore
one, then obviously the same recipe should get the next three.

  and, jumping ahead, configuring a turba source entry isn't enough,
since i finally need to enter information for that source in the
turba/config/conf.xml file, yes?  as i see it, i can do that one of
two ways:

  * graphically, through horde administration, or
  * manually edit the conf.xml file

but it looks like the graphical admin path will be easier.  once i
have that single addressbook configured as above, i should be able to
see it in my horde session, yes?  then the remaining three books
should be a piece of cake.

  i'll just confirm all that before i move on.
