YES! 
I just found out that access by default is only allowed from localhost,
as per the settings in
     /etc/ledgersmb/ledgersmb-httpd.conf
and after 'Allow'-ing the VM's host (or whatever machine on the network
one would want to access ledgersmb from) in the 
<Directory /usr/share/ledgersmb> Allow/Deny list, as well as under the
<Directory /var/lib/ledgersmb/users> and 
<Directory /va/lib/ledgersmb/css> access is now granted.

Now comes step 2: processing the 1.2.21's backup files using
http://192.168.122.95/ledgersmb/setup.pl .

Thanks!
