Re: LedgerSMB on Windows

[Thomas Bullock <..hidden..>]

Hi Gene,

Thank you, too, for your approach.  My linux computer OS is Ubuntu 10.4 (I think), so it no longer is the current version.  

There is this installation path (http://www.howtoforge.com/ledgersmb_debian_etch) for Debian etch.  My linux is not so strong yet that I can tell whether Debian etch is close or far from Ubuntu 10.4

You mention Firefox.  I migrated from that to Chrome over a year ago.  In your context are there reasons not to use Chrome?

I appreciate your quick reply and suggestions.  There is a lot for me to get on top of whether it is Windows or Linux.  I guess I will be going slowly.

Tom

Hi Tom,

To be honest I use FreeBSD Unix and Mageia Linux in my business. I do not use Microsoft systems in my home or for my business. I do install and support Microsoft systems for our company clients that need or want them. However, the rough steps would be:

        * Install a web server with PHP - like Apache for Microsoft
        * Install PostgreSQL for Microsoft
        * Install Firefox for Microsoft
        * Get all these working
        * Then install LedgerSMB and get it working

Frankly, looking at that makes me tired just thinking about all the work needed to make this play with a Microsoft system. I think you would be better off setting up a cheap Linux system with Apache, PostgreSQL and LedgerSMB, then connecting to that over your LAN using Firefox on your Microsoft PC.
