When I try to go to 127.0.0.1:5432/ledgersmb/login.pl or -setup.pl, I
get a HTTP403 "Forbidden" (You don't have permission to
access /ledgersmb/login.pl on this server.)
Yet the 'alias /ledgersmb /usr/share/ledgersmb' is in
the /etc/httpd/conf.d/ledgersmb.conf file.

I just ran into this problem myself, trying to get a fresh install of 1.3 running on Fedora 18.

The issue is caused by a parameter change to mod_alias in the version used in F18.

The Alias and Directory directives in the /etc/httpd/conf.d/ledgersmb.conf should be (note the new directive in bold):

Alias /ledgersmb /usr/share/ledgersmb

<Directory /usr/share/ledgersmb/>
Require all granted
# Rewrite rule to allow HTTP Authorization information to the scripts only
# from this directory.
RewriteEngine On

I'm hoping I'm close to a working 1.3, so I can try a database migration.
