No idea, I downloaded the latest version was, I believe it was Debian 
Wheezy 7.4.

Yes. The conf file /etc/apache2/conf.d/ledgersmb-httpd.conf contains 
blocks restricting access by IP, they are:

<Directory /usr/share/ledgersmb>

   # Rewrite rule to allow HTTP Authorization information to the scripts 
only
   # from this directory.
   RewriteEngine On

   # Redirect the /ledgersmb and /ledgersmb/ URL paths to
   # the true login script: /ledgersmb/login.pl
   RewriteRule ^/ledgersmb/?$ /ledgersmb/login.pl [R]

   # Indicate that the HTTP Authorization data should be passed
   # to the CGI scripts running from this directory
   RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]

   AllowOverride All
   AddHandler cgi-script .pl
   Options ExecCGI Includes FollowSymlinks

   # By default, only allow from localhost.  If you change this, please be
   # advised that you should use SSL protection on any and all network
   # connections that access this application in order to protect 
usernames and
   # passwords.
   Order Deny,Allow
   Allow from 127.0.0.1
   Allow from localhost
   Deny from All

This only allows access to the ledgersmb directory on the webserver from 
local host until you add your own lines.

The block below stops access to the css files for the same reason:

Alias /lsmbcss /var/lib/ledgersmb/css/
<Directory /var/lib/ledgersmb/css>
   Order Deny,Allow
   Allow from 127.0.0.1
   Allow from localhost
   Deny from All
</Directory>

Hope that helps. The problem is easy to fix, but noobs will get put off.

Yes, I presummed that the problem so I used the postgres user which does 
have the rights.

As you can see from a later email I fixed it to a point where I can 
actually get a database up and running.
