Right, so this looks good.  As you're using redhat (I'd guess 7.0 or
7.1?) going by the shell prompt, I installed sql-ledger on a redhat 6.1
box.  dnhttpd ran no problem.  So I looked at your conf file for ledger
and this is what stuck out:

If you don't need to authenticate yourself with Postgres (the 
default is no) I would try zeroing out these two strings in nick.config.

run this in char mode on tty1 or in an xterm:
./dnhttpd.pl

This way you can see the stderr...and send me any complaints
from the server.

If you have lynx installed on your RH box ---
Flip to another terminal or start another xterm and run this:
lynx http://localhost:8000/login.pl

Else, use netscape to dial up this address.
(Then flip back to the xterm to see any stderr it spews out.)

Let's hope this minor hack to nick.config turns the key...
Good luck!
