I've tried to find a tutorial that explained it, but I can't find 
anything that clearly explains what sed -i.orig does. Its sort of 
obvious what needs to happen, but substituting the current directory for 
WORKING_DIR won't work in Apache. What Does this script actually produce 
as output on another operating system?

Ok, a fresh day and got everything to work in ledgersmb-httpd.conf, but 
not using configure_apache.sh. Only needed to make a few small changes 
directly in httpd.conf.
Still think it is best to create a separate user/group for ledgersmb, 
though.
