SqlLedger Manual Install

SQL-LedgerManualInstall

Describe SQL-LedgerManualInstall here.

To install SQL-Ledger:

Install PostgreSQL per your operating system requirements.

Most installations create a special user postgres that is used to start and stop the PostgresSQL database.

root@localhost# su postgres

postgres@localhost:/etc$ initdb -D /var/lib/postgresql/data

postgres@localhost:/etc$ exit

Start the PostgreSQL database based on your operating system. For Slackware:

root@localhost/:# chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.postgresql

root@localhost:/# /etc/apache# /etc/rc.d/rc.postgres start

root@localhost:/# su postgres

postgres@localhost:/etc$ createuser -d sql-ledger

Shall the new user be allowed to create more new users? (y/n) y CREATE USER

postgres@localhost:/etc$ createlang plpgsql template1

postgres@localhost:/etc$ exit

root@localhost#

Edit sql-ledger.conf (if you want). The sql-ledger.conf that comes with OpenEMR should work but the paths may need to altered.

Create a file sql-ledger-httpd.conf in the same location where your httpd.conf is and copy the next section into the file

In my example I will root@localhost# touch /etc/apache/sql-ledger-httpd.conf Then add:

Alias /sql-ledger /usr/local/sql-ledger/
<Directory /usr/local/sql-ledger>
AllowOverride All AddHandler cgi-script .pl Options ExecCGI Includes FollowSymlinks Order Allow,Deny Allow from All
</Directory>
<Directory /usr/local/sql-ledger/users>
Order Deny,Allow Deny from All
</Directory>

Edit httpd.conf and add:
SQL-Ledger Include /etc/apache/sql-ledger-httpd.conf

Save the httpd.conf and restart your apache web server.

For slackware:

root@localhost:/# /etc/apache# /etc/rc.d/rc.httpd stop root@localhost:/# /etc/apache# /etc/rc.d/rc.httpd start

I moved to my sql-ledger directory:

root@localhost:/etc/apache# cd /usr/local/sql-ledger/

And changed the owner of directories: users templates css spool

root@localhost:/usr/local/sql-ledger# chown -R nobody:nobody users templates css spool

SQL-Ledger requires perl 5+, DBI, DBD-Pg. I had to use cpan to install a few perl modules: Frontier::Responder and DBI and [DBD]Pg

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::DBI' perl -MCPAN -e 'install Class::DBI::Pg' perl -MCPAN -e 'install Frontier::Responder' exit

Use your web browser to connect to SQL-Ledger with:

[WWW] http://localhost/sql-ledger/admin.pl

The initial password is "pass123"

Select:

change admin password

After creating a new password

Select:

Create dataset

make a new dataset name (all small case). I created:

demoledger

Add User:

drbowen

enter the host, postgres user, port, postgres password and dataset

for me

host: localhost user: sql-ledger port: 5432 password: 1234abdDCX! dataset: demoledger

Click on the save button.

Open a new browser window and you should be able to log on at:

http://localhost/sql-ledger/
