All (and especially Chris):

I am still having trouble getting Apache to correctly substitute the installation directory "C:\Program_Files\LedgerSMB" for the alias /ledgersmb. Â

I have got Apache working on Windows 7 in that when I enter localhost or 127.0.0.1 in Google Chrome I get the index.html "It Works!" page from htdocs/.

The key in the ledgersmb-httpd.conf is the alias directive.

Thanks for your hint but I had already substitutedÂ"C:/Program_Files/LedgerSMB" for WORKING-DIR throughout ledgersmb-httpd.conf, so getting

The error log showed for bothÂhttp://localhost/ledgersmbÂandÂhttp://localhost/ledgersmb/login.pl:

Note the attempt to find ledgersmb/ in htdocs/. ÂThe rewrite rule in ledgersmb-httpd.confÂ

Â8 <Directory "C:/Program_Files/LedgerSMB">

16Â RewriteRule ^/ledgersmb/?$ /ledgersmb/login.plÂ[R]Â

is not being applied butÂ

182 DocumentRoot "C:/Program_Files/Apache/htdocs"

  ...

209 <Directory "C:/Program_Files/Apache/htdocs">

I noticed in ledgersmb-httpd.conf ...

Â20 <Directory C:/Program_Files/LedgerSMB>

  Â...

Â24 Â ÂRewriteEngine On

but in httpd.conf what about

118 #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.soÂ?
