I would be your typical purchaser of packaged software with an installation
wizard from a commercial software manufacturer. So it has been quite a
battle to go through the the process of installing LedgerSMB, where a geek
level of technical knowledge seems to be required.
I intend to use my experience to write a detailed installation procedure to
post on ledgersmb.org. If there was a more user-friendly installation
process, there would be a greater uptake on Windows and OSX. Meanwhile
this project to provide instructions would help in the eventual development
of a one-click installer wizard.
*PostgreSQL Problems*
I am installing LedgerSMB on Windows 7 following your terse instructions
for Windows and Ubuntu (very hard to translate Ubuntu setup back to Windows
when there ain't no sudo, etc!). Normally my login is user Buster, which
has admin privileges, and which was used to install LedgerSMB.
Perl and PostgreSQL (from EnterpriseDB) installed okay. The installer
asked to provide a password for postgres (superuser), which I understand is
the Administrator on Windows. And indeed a C:\Users\postgres user account
is created.
However, the user postgres does not show up in the User Accounts control
panel (Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\User Accounts\Manage
Accounts). (When I try to run psql.exe, it asks for the password
previously created during installation, but when this is entered, psql
complains that this is not an acceptable password for Windows user Buster
-- my normal Windows administrator login.) Nor can I log in as user
postgres when, presumably, the postgres password _would_ be accepted.
Can you help me with setting up the user and database?
Note 1: I was able to run
cpan *List::Of::Modules* (from the older Windows and Ubuntu
instructions, not the recently updated versions)
Note 2: Should I run the Stackbuilder installer from EnterpriseDB? What
does this install?
*LedgerSMB Package Problems*

*
I ran the LedgerSMB installer, shebang, and
perl Makefile
However, I could not run make as this is not a native Windows command-line
command. What should I do?
