The "sql-ledger-httpd.conf" file does not have to be in the same directory as 
httpd.conf. It has to be exactly where the path is pointing. So even if you 
have both your "httpd.conf" and "sql-ledger-httpd.conf" in /etc/httpd/ 
directory you will still get the error message even though they are in the 
same directory.
Also check permissions for the "sql-ledger-httpd.conf"
