Found the problem was bad thinking on my part.

I had sql-ledger installed on a SuSE 9.1 machine
and dumped my database file from the Linux machine
and loaded it into postgresQL on the OS X machine

However, I tried to log on as my old user and had
not gone through the sql-ledger admin setup of users
and databases.

The error given in the error_log
/var/log/httpd/error_log

"Compilation failed in require at 
/Library/WebServer/Documents/sql-ledger/login.pl line 90.
Error: users/members : No such file or directory"

Of course that was a different message as reported in the Apache screen.

Also found that by default, /etc/httpd/httpd.conf looks in the 
directory /etc/httpd/users for that
sql-ledger-httpd.config
Therefore I just used the instructions per sql-ledger's README file
and did not have to edit httpd.conf

I'm a Happy camper -- now ready to find out if this thing will do the 
job for me.
