I did some more poking around with regard to this path. I know looking
at an old sql-ledger install and comparing it to a new lsmb install is
far from definitive, but...
I got to comparing the whole bin/mozilla directory against the bin
directory in new lsmb. They look pretty close...
so I made a symlink in new lsmb: bin/mozilla -> bin.
We did another scheduled invoices run today, but we did not get the bcc
and the invoice did not send. Unfortunately, I wasnt' around to tail
the logs and check things over at the time, but the same error message
spit out to the screen as happened before.
So my symlink idea didn't work, but seems like it should have, so maybe
I just don't have the path thing figured out quite right yet. I guess
some more experimentation is in order...
I also searched through all the code for bin/mozilla, and it shows up in
quite a few places, so given that there is no mozilla file/directory, I
suspect this is not the last time we will see this issue. But since my
symlink thing didn't work, I am not eager to make changes to the code
when I clearly don't have a good handle on what exactly I should be
changing it too.
We have another scheduled invoice to send out in a day or two, will post
back if I find anything useful...

Get your SQL database under version control now!
Version control is standard for application code, but databases havent
caught up. So what steps can you take to put your SQL databases under
version control? Why should you start doing it? Read more to find out.
