Start from scratch

[Troy Carpenter]

I want to take my already-running system, which is modified slightly from the 
source distribution for apache and php, and reinstall from source to get the 
system to a known state.  I would like to retain all my data in the process.

Here's my idea.  First, shut everything down then move my existing /kolab 
directory out of the way.  Recreate the /kolab directory and reinstall from 
scratch.

After the install and bootstrap is done, shut everything down again and copy 
over my previous /kolab/var directory into the new install.  Fix any template 
changes in /etc/kolab/templates and reconfigure.  Restart.

I am expecting this to preserve all my email and other settings while having a 
clean install to verify Horde works in absence of my changes.

And no, I don't have an extra server to do this on.  This is a small volume 
server run for less than 10 users.

Any input?
