How To Install SQL-Ledger on Windows 7

This set of instructions assumes several software versions.

 Strawberry perl 5.12.2


 PostgreSQL 9.0
 Apache 2.2
 SQL Ledger 3.0

SQL-Ledger
1. Download SQL-Ledger
2. untar in c:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs
all the files should now be in the folder
"c:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/sql-ledger"
3. rename [Link] to [Link]
4. edit [Link]
comment the following variables
$sendmail, $latex, $gzip, $dvipdf, $ENV{PATH}
5. create a .htaccess file in
"c:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/sql-ledger" and enter
Options +ExecCGI
6. download the file shebang and save it in
"c:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/sql-ledger"
7. if [Link] is not "c:/strawberry/perl/bin/[Link]" edit the file and change it to point to the
proper location
8. open a CMD console
9. switch directory to
"c:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/sql-ledger"
10. enter the command "perl shebang"

PostgreSQL
Edit c:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.0/data/pg_hba.conf

1. change access rights from 'md5' to 'password'

Apache
Edit the Apache [Link] Configuration File

1. go to the section
<Directory "C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"> and
change "AllowOverride None" to "AllowOverride Options"
2. search for "AddHandler cgi-script .cgi" and add another line below
AddHandler cgi-script .pl

This will get you going however I strongly recommend to look into securing certain directories to
disallow access or move these directories and their contents to another location out of reach for the
webserver and specify the locations in [Link].

Please see the FAQ for more details.
