- LedgerSMB Small Medium Business Accounting
- Version 1.1.1c
-
-
-DESCRIPTION:
-------------
-LedgerSMB is a double-entry accounting system written
-in perl. It has been tested with PostgreSQL, Apache,
-Netscape, Mozilla, Galeon, Explorer, Links, Lynx,
-Konqueror, Voyager, W3M and Opera clients on Linux,
-FreeBSD, Solaris, Windows, Mac computers and PDA's.
-
-Data is stored in a SQL database server, either locally or
-remote, the display is through a text or GUI web browser.
-The system is linked by a chart of accounts. All transactions
-for AR, AP and GL are stored in a transaction table. Hyper-links
-from the chart of accounts let you view transactions posted
-through AR, AP and GL.
-
-Configuration files let you specify to which SQL database server
-to connect to, personal preferences such as company name,
-language, number and date format, etc.
-
-With the admin script you can create, edit or delete users,
-create and delete datasets and set up the Chart of Accounts
-and templates needed for the system.
-
-You can have a group of users using the same dataset and
-templates for generating Invoices, Income Statements and
-Balance Sheets or a different set altogether.
-
-Templates are supplied in html, text and tex format to
-generate most of the forms. Forms can be printed to screen,
-sent to a printer or e-mailed.

-
-
-Note: /usr/local/ledger-smb is only a suggested

-change directory to /usr/local/ledger-smb
-
-# chown -hR nobody:nogroup templates css spool
-
-replace nobody:nogroup with the web server user and group.
-Some systems use apache:apache, www, www-data, ...
-
-
-FTP INSTALLATION:
------------------
-If you do not have access to the server's configuration
-files install LedgerSMB in userspace by ftp'ing all the
-files to your server.
-
-a) untar ledger-smb in your private_html directory
-b) turn on script execution for the folder ledger-smb
-You can control this with an .htaccess file
-
- Options +ExecCGI
- DirectoryIndex login.pl
-
-c) protect the users directory with an .htpasswd file
-
-order allow,deny
-deny from all
-
-d) protect the templates directory with an .htpasswd file
-
-order allow,deny
-deny from all
-
-e) set up your PostgreSQL database and the tables.
-
-You will most likely only have access to PostgreSQL with
-some other tools like pgadmin.
-
-1) create a database user or use an assigned database user
-2) create a blank database or use one which was created for you
-3) load your web browser and connect to
-http://host.domain.com/private_html/ledger-smb/admin.pl
-to create the tables.
-
-TODO: Add bit about setting admin password
-
-Select the "Database Administration" link
-
-Host [database host] Port [ ]
-User [database user] Password [for your database]
-Connect to [your database]
-
-click on "Create Dataset"
-
-The next screen is for choosing a Chart of Accounts
-
-Create Dataset [your database]

-will be loaded.
-
-Go to the next step, "SET UP A USER"
-
-
-PREPARE YOUR SQL DATABASE SERVER:
----------------------------------
-
- add one database user with create database privileges
- to manage the datasets and tables for LedgerSMB
-
- # su postgres
- $ createuser -d ledger-smb
- Shall the new user be allowed to create databases? (y/n) y
- Shall the new user be allowed to create more new users? (y/n) n
-
- if you use passwords to access postgres use this command
- $ createuser -d -P ledger-smb

-
-Select the "Database Administration" link,
-enter the user you created in the previous step.
-

-your hosting company, you must leave the superuser
-credentials blank. If you want to create the
-database, fill in the superuser name and password.
-
-The "Create Dataset" link queries the server
-for existing datasets and displays them in a
-table. Enter a name for the new dataset (use
-lowercase letters only!) and select one of the
-Chart of Accounts and click on Continue.
-
-You cannot manage any other datasets from this
-interface, only the datasets used by LedgerSMB
-
-Template1 is only used to query
-the server, none of the information stored
-in template1 is manipulated in any way.
-You can connect to any other database you
-own, template1 is only a default.
-
-
-SET UP A USER:
--------------
