FreeBSD uses its own rc scripts. The standard one for Starman can be seen here: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/www/p5-Starman/files/starman.in?revision=340872&view=markup

I then defined the startup like this in /etc/rc.conf:
starman_enable="YES"
starman_config="/usr/local/www/ledgersmb15/tools/starman.psgi"
starman_flags="-I /usr/local/www/ledgersmb15/lib/ --listen :5055 --error-log /var/log/starman.log"

But that way includes were missing, configuration could not be found etc. When I use my own script then it works.

Ok. What you could do, possibly, is changing the starman.psgi file to include:

chdir "/usr/local/www/ledgersmb15";

as the first line after the shebang -- that is before any other - actual-code. If that doesn't work, you might consider:

BEGIN {

chdir ...;
}

Yep, the one with BEGIN made the official rc script work :)

Great news! Do you have anything you want/need us to add to http://ledgersmb.org/topic/installing-ledgersmb-15 or https://github.com/ledgersmb/LedgerSMB/blob/master/README.md based on your installation experience?

Well, as far as I can recall right now, the only FreeBSD specific nuances were:

Link perl binaries /usr/local/bin/perl* to /usr/bin/, something like: for b in /usr/local/bin/perl*; do ln -s $b /usr/bin/ ; done

Install all the missing CPAN modules (I did it basically one-by-one from FreeBSD ports system, checking errors on each try, but I guess using 'cpanm' method should do the trick too, and a bit easier).

Install p5-Starman and add those aforementioned lines to /etc/rc.conf

Start it up with: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/starman start

Also, not related to FreeBSD, to make Apache proxy really work I also added ProxyPass line, so those are:
ProxyPass / http://localhost:5055/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:5055/

One more change necessary for using the rc script - in lib/LedgerSMB/Sysconfig.pm:

my $cfg = Config::IniFiles->new( -file => "/usr/local/www/ledgersmb15/conf/ledgersmb.conf" ) || die @Config::IniFiles::errors;

Otherwise it couldn't find the configuration file.
