[SL] incorrect sql-ledger-httpd.conf file?

[Myk R. <myk...@gm...>]

Just restored a backup file to the database, but now i am unable to restart 
apache after a clean install of sql-ledger. I get an error about the 
sql-ledger-httpd.conf file..  Here's the contents of the file:




Alias / /
<Directory>
  AllowOverride All
  AddHandler cgi-script .pl
  Options ExecCGI Includes FollowSymlinks
  Order Allow,Deny
  Allow from All
</Directory>

<Directory /users>
  Order Deny,Allow
  Deny from All
</Directory>


And here is what I get when i try to restart apache:

robinson@robinson-desktop:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
 * Restarting web server apache2                                                 
* We failed to correctly shutdown apache, so we're now killing all running 
apache processes. This is almost certainly suboptimal, so please make sure 
your system is working as you'd expect now!
Syntax error on line 3 of /etc/apache2/sql-ledger-httpd.conf:
<Directory> directive requires additional arguments
                                                                         
[fail]
robinson@robinson-desktop:~$



What am i doing wrong? I copied the text word for word, so i assume something 
is not correct with the text in the .conf file..

Thanks,

In my installation, it's

Alias /sql-ledger /usr/local/sql-ledger

Do you try to install SL manually? Use setup.pl for this, or you'll have 
many more problems.

What you are doing wrong?  You are not reading the install docs, not reading
the faq's, did I miss something?
Apart from that, I suspect you probably did not make cgi executable, nor did
you configure apache correctly.

Either put the dir bit in the special sql-config for apache, OR put it in
the main apache config.
Putting config files half here and half there is an accident waiting to
happen (in plain English:  bound to get unwanted results)

BTW,. did you alias /path_to/sql-ledger/

Alias / / <== here you are trying to alias the physical root dir to the webroot? which is incorrect
Alias /lsmb /path/to/your/ledgersmbdir <= it should look like this
<Directory /path/to/your/ledgersmbdir> <= directory needs a directory argument
  AllowOverride All
  AddHandler cgi-script .pl
  Options ExecCGI Includes FollowSymlinks
  Order Allow,Deny
  Allow from All
</Directory>

<Directory /users>
  Order Deny,Allow
  Deny from All
</Directory>

Thanks to all. I installed using the perl script, just downloaded today. I 
have installed this numerous times, and this has never happened..

Contents of sql-ledger-httpd.conf seem incorrect due to some reason.

Following lines:
Alias / /
<Directory>

should be:
  Alias /sql-ledger /usr/local/sql-ledger/
  <Directory /usr/local/sql-ledger>
