Hi again

Finally had a moment to test install 1.5.0-beta6. This is a rather nitpicky report, but hey, I might as well. You can always skip if you think it's too obvious.

Following http://ledgersmb.org/topic/installing-ledgersmb-15 I'm not sure why the PDF and Postscript output contains some cpan commands. Seems they don't work, and cpanm should be used instead.

Also, this is of course very obvious, but installing latex modules would require having latex itself on the system. Don't know if it's worth mentioning, but when you follow a recipe, you kinda switch off your brain, at least partially. On my opensuse system, it wasn't installed by default. The package is called texlive-latex there.

Is it really good practice to

Verify access configuration (run as root)

?

I can't find instructions for just starting starman. There's a section telling how to install starman as a service, but it seems to start it at port 5055, and the later instructions still point to 5000. Perhaps I'm just not seeing the place where it's written, but I think for first-time testing this can still do:

starman --preload-app tools/starman.psgi

OK, installation successful, Then trying

http://<testserver>:5000/setup.pl

Won't login with the lsmb_dbadmin user that was created with the command copied from the installation doc. The pg logs revealed that it rejected access to the postgres user according to this line in pg_hba.conf:

host postgres,template0,template1 all ::1/128 reject

The actual message reads

postgres lsmb_dbadmin FATAL: pg_hba.conf rejects connection for host "::1", user "lsmb_dbadmin", database "postgres", SSL off

Anyway, logging in after disabling that line, where I get the choice to create the database. Great, but it tells me

Logged in as [_1]

I guess [_1] ought to have been the username? Then, when trying to import myself as a user, I get this error:

ERROR: must be superuser to alter superusers
CONTEXT: SQL statement "ALTER USER <xxx> WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD <yyy> valid until <zzz>"
PL/pgSQL function admin__save_user(integer,integer,text,text,boolean) line 25 at EXECUTE statement:
SELECT *
FROM "public"."admin__save_user"(?, ?, ?, ?, ?) at /home/kaare/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.22.2/lib/site_perl/5.22.2/PGObject.pm line 361.

No matter which superuser I try to use, lsmb_dbadmin, or postgres. I can create a normal user (one I don't try to import).

Finally, Im trying

http://<testserver>:5000/login.pl

Entering a few customers and parts. My time is up for today, but I have to figure out how to connect parts* and add storage and inventory. That's for another day.

* Two usage patterns;
- Buy any 3 of these items for 10.-
- If you buy this item, you have to add these x items

Hi Kaare,

I guess you mean 1.5.0-beta6.

Yup. Thanks for that correction!

At least that's what can be downloaded:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ledger-smb/files/Releases/1.5.0-beta6/

> It's been 2 weeks since our last beta release and a lot has happened,
> so we decided to have another beta release.

Personally I hope to have a spare moment soon to test again. Haven't had
time since last time I wrote about it.
