All (and especially Chris):
I am still having trouble getting Apache to correctly substitute the
installation directory "C:\Program_Files\LedgerSMB" for the alias
/ledgersmb.

Thanks for your hint but I had already
substituted "C:/Program_Files/LedgerSMB" for WORKING-DIR throughout
ledgersmb-httpd.conf, so getting
The error log showed for both http://localhost/ledgersmb and
http://localhost/ledgersmb/login.pl:
[Sat Jan 19 11:37:11 2013] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist:
C:/Program_Files/Apache/htdocs/ledgersmb
Note the attempt to find ledgersmb/ in htdocs/. The rewrite rule in
ledgersmb-httpd.conf
8 <Directory "C:/Program_Files/LedgerSMB">
...
16 RewriteRule ^/ledgersmb/?$ /ledgersmb/login.pl [R]
is not being applied but
182 DocumentRoot "*C:/Program_Files/Apache/htdocs*"
...
209 <Directory "*C:/Program_Files/Apache/htdocs*">
are being applied (instead?).
I noticed in ledgersmb-httpd.conf ...
20 <Directory C:/Program_Files/LedgerSMB>
...
24 RewriteEngine On
but in httpd.conf what about
118 #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so ?

P.S. Windows downloads are 51 percent of all downloads? When I searched
the archives for other people having a similar problem, very few relevant
posts popped up. Clearly other Windows geeks are a lot smarter than this
newbie geek.
