You should be fine. The two methods are "half of one" and "6 dozen of another" :-) The first instructions you posted were to put the apache instructions into a file, and then "Include" that file into the main apache configuration. The second instructions were to put the apache instructions directly into the main apache configuration file. Did I explain that OK? Also, one reason why you might want to put them into a different sql-ledger.conf file is so that an upgrade might be easier done, by simply overwriting the file without touching the main apache configuration file. On the other hand, you have to be able to open up apache's configuration file, look at the "Include" line, and say to yourself, "Self, I need to look elsewhere for that sql-ledger configuration info." Some of us are more used to talking to ourselves than others. Six of one and half dozen of the other, it doesn't matter. rob > >Second, the Instllation calls for the creation of an sql-ledger-httpd.conf > >file: > > > >Quote: > >create a file sql-ledger-httpd.conf in the same location where your > >httpd.conf is and copy the next section into the file > > > >Alias /sql-ledger/ /usr/local/sql-ledger/ > ><Directory /usr/local/sql-ledger/> > > AddHandler cgi-script .pl > > Options ExecCGI Includes FollowSymlinks > ></Directory > > > ><Directory /usr/local/sql-ledger/users> > > Options None > ></Directory> > > > >edit httpd.conf and add > > > ># SWL-Ledger > >Include <ServerRoot>/sql-ledger-httpd.conf > >Unquote.
