I originally tried that and followed all the instructions. Completed the install, and then tried to access through the browser at localhost/ledgersmb/setup.pl (and just localhost/ledgersmb/, etc) and got a file not found. Apache did not get configured in the installation process, ledgersmb file permissions did not get changed to www-data, and the install was in /usr/share - I was expecting it to be in /var/www. Apache was already on my system and so I set up the configuration following that part of your instructions here. That worked but I was having other problems so I assumed it was a bad installation, uninstalled, and started from scratch using your full instructions here. That worked fine but after I wrote of my success here I logged off the computer and when I logged back in I got a 403 error trying to access ledgersmb so I'm having some problem with apache I haven't figured out yet. > > Also - I had to re-read a few times to figure out what username and > > password to enter to log on to Ledgersmb. Also got some graphic help from the original help file that you referenced at http://www.ledgersmb.org/help/install/Ubuntu_Installation_Tutorial_LedgerSMB- 1.3-SERIES.html > > Interesting.

I found the instructions here: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.finance.ledger.smb.user/5963 All the commands have backslash (\) linebreaks so multi-line commands can't be cut and pasted - have to be edited. And then you have to figure out if there should be a space or not as in: "sudo sed \ -e "s|^contrib_dir =.*|contrib_dir = /usr/share/postgresql/9.1/extension|"\ -i /usr/local/ledgersmb/ledgersmb.conf" Removing the backslash before "-i /usr/local...." results a not having a space and so that command failed until I tried adding a space. Just little things I had to figure out. The command to change the postgres superuser password obviously contains the username (postgres) and the password (postgres) but it wasn't obvious to me until about the 5th reading of the instructions. A note saying "we are setting up the database with username postgres and password postgres" would have at least helped me. Maybe others see that right off. Anyway - just minor complaints. Now I have to figure out why I'm getting that 403 error.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
