maybe replace "WORKING_DIR" with ledgersmb (and awap the order of the 2)

Much thanks for the steer! I now have LedgerSMB up and running. (Haven't a clue what to do with it yet, but it's running and I can log into it.)

For anyone else who wants to install LedgerSMB on Centos, this is what I did to make it go.

I downloaded ledgersmb-1.2.17-1.noarch.rpm from sourceforge, and installed the following dependencies:

postgresql-8.1.11-1.el5_1.1.i386 perl-version-0.7203-1.el5.i386 perl-Class-Std-0.0.8-1.el5.rf.noarch perl-Config-Std-0.0.4-1.el5.rf.noarch perl-Smart-Comments-1.0.3-1.el5.rf.noarch perl-TimeDate-1.16-5.el5.noarch perl-MailTools-1.77-1.el5.centos.noarch perl-Locale-Maketext-Lexicon-0.62-1.el5.noarch perl-DBI-1.52-2.el5.i386 perl-DBD-Pg-1.49-2.el5_3.1.i386 perl-MIME-Lite-3.01-5.el5.noarch postgresql-server-8.1.11-1.el5_1.1.i386 perl-BSD-Resource-1.28-1.fc6.1.i386 mod_perl-2.0.4-6.el5.i386

I then edited /etc/httpd/conf.d/ledgersmb.conf and changed the Alias line to read like this:

Alias /ledgersmb /usr/share/ledgersmb

I then changed all instances of WORKING_DIR in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ledgersmb.conf to "ledgersmb" (without the quotes).

I then edited /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf in two places. I changed the line that says "AddHandler cgi-script .cgi" to read "AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl".

I also changed the section that read:

<Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory>

so it now reads:

<Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI AllowOverride None </Directory>

There is a short set of instructions that can be read with this command:

rpm -qi ledgersmb

After following those instructions, I can now log into ledgersmb.
