I have a question, perhaps I did not make the guide clear.
the page says:
---------------------------------------------
Edit ledgersmb.conf.
Set DBPassword to ledgersmb-user-password, make any other needed changes.

Run sh configure_apache.sh

|# sh configure_apache.sh|

Apache2 runs as www-data

Copy ledgersmb-httpd.conf to /etc/apache2/conf.d

Restart Apache2

|# apache2ctl restart
--------------------------------------------

|Where it says : Apache2 runs as www-data, this is meant to be used as 
information to be entered during the configure_apache.sh script.

The same goes for when it says: Copy ledgersmb-httpd.conf to 
/etc/apache2/conf.d,
  this also is entered into the script, not done manually.

The default ledgersmb-httpd.conf will not work unedited. The 
configure_apache.sh script will automatically do this.

Did you do this that way? Or is the unedited ledgersmb-httpd.conf been 
copied?
