Randy; After you install Sql-ledger, be sure to get the patch and apply that too. I neglect that step and had some slight problems.
I installed Sql-Ledger about 2 weeks ago. To create the user, the command to it is: /usr/local/pgsql/bin/createuser -d -P myuser -d means that this user can create data bases -P means that you will be prompted for a password (My system is Red Hat 7.1, but since I installed PostgreSQL afterwards from sources, my path may be different from yours). If you make a mistake just use: /usr/local/pgsql/bin/dropuser myuser You can get more details from http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?app-createuser.html After that it was reall easy. I connetced with the admin user to http://your.url/sql-ledger/admin.pl (you have to set up the web server to recgnize the url this way) and went into Pg Database Administration. There I created a data base for each "company" I plan to use, using the user created previously. No problem at all. This set up all the tables and created a set of accounts. Then I went in and changed the admin password. Finally I created some users for each "company" (database). Then it was ready to go.
