can't comment, don't use SELinux, but see next comment.

http (lynx) talks on port 80 unless you tell it otherwise.
Postgresql listens on 5432, but that is accessed by the underlying
script, not by lynx.

try logging in with <lynx localhost/ledgersmb/login.pl>
localhost is the same as 127.0.0.1 for practical purposes.
You shouldn't normally (ever?) use port 5432 for lynx (or Firefox etc)

The first is the apache config file so that apache can find the
ledgersmb files it needs
The second is the Âconfiguration of ledgersmb. They do different jobs
and have different
content. On my install, they have different names to distinguish them.

I hope that helps. I'm not the expert around here, but at least trying that
won't mess anything up. (I hope).
