Hi, Dieter,
Glad to hear from you.

I posted earlier and I quote:
I am trying to install v. 1.8.7 on FreeBSD 4.7 with PostGresql.
I had already installed an earlier version on another FGBSD machine wihtout
problems. Not this time...
I don't know if anyone has recently verified the installation instructions
or the names of files. First, the setup.pl file is actually called
dnsetup.pl (god knows why...)
Second, the Instllation calls for the creation of an sql-ledger-httpd.conf
file:
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
>setup.pl does not touch the files unless it is a new installation.
There are two issues here: 1. the setup file seems to be called dnsetup.pl
(at least that is what I found)
2. Copying the lines as per installation instructions into the
sql-ledger-httpd.conf file does not work! the apache httpd.file, when it
reads the line beginning with "Alias /sql-ledger...." does not understand
what to do with the directive and does not automatically set it into the
mod_alias sction - thus generating an error message. kSince I am not a
programmer, I do not know what specific changes have to be made to the
sql-ledger-httpd.conf file to be interpreted correctly by mapache in
httpd.conf.
I used just plain common sense to modify httpd.conf to make sql-ledger work.
I sure would like to be able to use an sql-ledger-httpd.conf file to
facilitate upgrades and not have to redo the httpd.file every time. :))
Thanks for your help.
PJ
