RE: sql-ledger rpm/deb

[Dieter S. <dsi...@sq...>]

A private installation can be setup without root access. No changes to any
other configuration files are needed. Of course you must have perl, DBI
and DBD-(Pg|Oracle) installed and either Postgres or Oracle running or at
least have access to a SQL server.

1. Unpack SQL-Ledger in your home directory
2. setup one user in postgres
   If your name has already been added or if you use the
   postgres superuser you can forget this step
3. load the webserver (cd dnhttpd/exec; ./dnhttpd.pl)
4. load your browser
5. connect to http://localhost:8000/admin.pl
6. setup a company (Database Administration -> Create Dataset)
7. setup a user (Add User)

log in or connect to http://localhost:8000/login.pl and log in.
