If you use setup.pl to download and install, the AddHandler and Alias is written into sql-ledger-http.conf. The last two lines in httpd.conf should then be something like
# SQL-Ledger Include etc/apache2/sql-ledger-httpd.conf If you run setup.pl as root, your httpd.conf file is updated and the webserver is restarted too. If you install as user this will obviously fail and you are then prompted to do the last steps as root yourself. a) edit httpd.conf and add Include etc_directory/sql-ledger-httpd.conf b) restart web server Dieter Simader http://www.sql-ledger.org (780) 472-8161 DWS Systems Inc.
