Some years back I installed version 1.2.17 on a Centos 5 system and it's been working fine ever since. I am now trying to install version 1.3.15 on a Centos 6 system and I have two questions.
BASIC INSTALLATION AND SETUP QUESTION I get as far as going to the localhost/ledgersmb/setup.pl screen. When I get there the only field I have on it are the title Database Management Console, the header Superuser credentials, a Database field and a Login button. The Super-user login and Password fields that I see in the screenshot at http://ledgersmb.org/files/Screenshot%20at%202011-10-22%2013_13_54.png are missing. When I click on the login button I get the Firefox "Authentication Required" window, but any combination of username and password that I try are rejected. As a desperation move I went through the setup steps that were included in the 1.2.17 rpm, as follows: su - postgres -c "createuser -d ledgersmb --createdb --superuser -P" su - postgres -c "createdb ledgersmb" su - postgres -c "createlang plpgsql ledgersmb" su - postgres -c "psql ledgersmb < /usr/share/ledgersmb/sql/Pg-central.sql" Bleeding edge hint: Set password to avoid bogus web prompt: su - postgres -c "psql ledgersmb -c \"update users_conf set password = md5 ('yada') where id = 1;\"" These steps were not included in the 1.3.15 rpm, but they didn't solve my problem either. I then tried removing the 1.3.15 rpm and installing 1.2.17 but that didn't get me anything other than a "No Global DBH configured or could not connect" so I figure that's not the answer either. I reinstalled 1.3.15 and that's where I am right now. Hopefully I haven't screwed up my ledgersmb installation by doing this. If I've really screwed thing up I can set this machine up again from scratch but of course I would be quite happy to not have to do that. What do I need to do next? I'm pretty sure that I've missed something but I have no idea what that is. UPGRADE QUESTION I have never tried restoring a ledgersmb data backup. Based on my reading when I was setting up the 1.2 version back when, I have this included in a nightly cronjob: postgres pg_dump <ledgersmbdb> > backupfile.sql It's my understanding that I can restore that data by doing this: postgres psql ledgersmb < backupfile.sql Is that really all there is to it? What about setting up passwords for the users and so on? Is all that included in the backup.sql file? Can I do a simple restore of the data from version 1.2 and have it "just work" with version 1.3? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com www.creekfm.com - FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS of POW WOW POWER! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
