Sort -of... the problem was, or is, that the instructions don't work quite the way they are written. Not to laud my own capabilities, I figured out what had to be done to make it work. However, the install instructions are quite incorrect since you canot just set up the sql-ledger-httpd.conf file the way it is suggested. The lines, if entered as instructed, are read by httpd.conf out of context and thus are not correctly interpreted. They must be set to be included in the mod_alias section of the httpd.conf file. Now, just how this should be done through the sql-ledger-httpd.conf file is not in my expertise. I suppose I could try different configurations and hope to not screw up apache in the doing. I do suppose that the sql-ledger-httpd.conf file should have a section mirroring that in httpd.conf; but I don't know just how that works - it would seem that apache would be reading the instructions for the mod_alias section twice and I don't know if that would be conflicting. I am sure there is a correct sysntax; I just don't know what it should be. >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. I understand and agree that that makes sense and I'm for it. But even so, in an upgrade you're likely to have to remember to include or re-insert the #SQL-Ledger line in the new httpd.conf 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. You're quite right, it doesn't. The program works. :)) PJ
