If this error occurs and you have already edited the ledgersmb.conf, you can
see the exact cause of the error by:
1) cd to the LedgerSMB application root directory
2) run the following command:
perl -MLedgerSMB::Sysconfig -e print
No output means no error. Usually however, you will get a good and
informative error. Just don't post the password to the email lists ;-)
I will add this procedure to the installation documentation.

Our current approach is to suppliment the INSTALL and README files with
README.[OS/Distro/etc]. This way we can document what is different, what
needs to be changed, etc.
The problem with most FAQs is focus. The fact that a Q is asked "F" may

Agreed. BTW, we do accept patches to documentation :-) And plain text is
fine as a format.

A better option, IMO, is to add a FAQ section to each chapter of each manual
or at the end of each document. That way people go into the document, find
what they need, look at the FAQ in that chapter, or whatever.
