Re: NEED taxes on taxes here

[Jess <je...@oz...>]

Hi Dieter,

Just to make this clear straight of the bat prior to version 1.4 of
SQL-Ledger I had no problems running SQL-Ledger in the 1.2.* variety.

I clean installed SQL ledger.

Now I cleaned out all the SQL tables and downloaded SQL-Ledger 1.4.4 from
your Web Site unpacked it and recreated the tables from the acc-PG.sql file.
I removed any traces of the previous SQL-LEDGER 1.2.* which was working.
I then move the SQL-Ledger directory with the login.pl and sql-ledger.conf
file and all subdirectories to the web document root called
/www/websites/bookmen/sqll  I also created any directories that where called
in the sql-ledger.conf file so that it could find anything it was looking
for.
I read the FAQ and the README and it said to:

SETUP A USER:
-------------
Load your web browser and enter the URL
http://localhost/cgi-bin/sql-ledger/admin.pl and add a user. If you specify
a different database then the one you just created
in the previous step, make sure the database and tables exist.
(see previous step) LOAD THE ACCOUNTING PROGRAM:
----------------------------
Load your web browser and enter the URL
http://localhost/cgi-bin/sql-ledger/login.pl


Now there is no http://localhost/cgi-bin/sql-ledger/admin.pl in that
directory there is only login.pl and am.pl

If I open the admin.pl in the "bin/mozilla" directory the is no shebang line
or "require" command for the .conf file on any of these files which leads me
to believe that these files are read into a calling .pl file probably
login.pl.

How do you add or create a user?    What .pl file in what directory needs to
be run and what needs to be entered in the Browser URL to call it?

There is something fundamental I am not aware of that must be causing these
problems?
Your assistence is needed.

SQL Ledger is being run on W2K Pro with PG 703 and perl5, apache 1.3.14.

Regards Jess
