Can't connect to port 5762 (starman) to ledgersmb
by fherman＠inferential.com 01 Apr '24

01 Apr '24

I am a new user. This installation is on a local machine running linuxmint. I installed the latest ledgersmb image for docker via a pull. I have been able to get the PostgreSQL and the ledgersmb containers running. The container name for ledgersmb is myledger. The ps command shows both PostgreSQL and starman running. When I try to browse to http://localhost:5762/setup.pl, I get connection refused. I also tried to telnet to the port but got refused error. When I look for listening ports, port 5762 doesn't show. Apparently I am missing something in my installation. TIA

Hallo, I see WebService::HMRC on cpan with a note that it was originally developed for LedgerSMB, but I can find no reference to it in the list archives. Is there an existing implementation of this? Cheers Lyn

Hello, my name is Rezan Kedik. At the moment I am writing my thesis on the topic of "Diffusion rate of open source business software". I wanted to ask if some of you (community) would be willing to do a quick survey. You would conduct the survey using the software "LedgerSMB". I would be very grateful for any help. With best regards Rezan Kedik

Contributions soliticited: Testimonials
by Erik Huelsmann 12 May '21

12 May '21

Hi all, With this mail, I'd like to solicit contributions in the form of testimonials: regularly, the project receives feedback of what can or should be improved. Far less regular is the feedback of what *good* experiences people have had with the software. Our site contains a section with Testimonials ( https://ledgersmb.org/testimonials) which is a place where potential new users can read about the experiences from existing users. As it stands, the current testimonials are old aging and the project is urgently in need of new and recent testimonials. This is your chance to help the project. No coding required. No documentation writing required. Only about half an hour in which you write down what your experience with the software is and why and how it benefits your company(companies). Yesterday one new testimonial was contributed; I'm looking for at least two more. Please contribute this half hour in appreciation of the software you've enjoyed over the past year(s) and donate your testimonial by replying (privately) to this e-mail so I can publish it on the site. -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP. Robust and Flexible. No vendor lock-in.

1.6 release line End-Of-Life notice
by Erik Huelsmann 07 May '21

07 May '21

I'm sending notice that the 1.6 release line will reach End-Of-Life by Thursday 10 June - next month. As per our community policy, there will be no further fixes applied to the 1.6 series of releases. After its initial release on June 10, 2018 and 31 patch releases - the latest released just 5 days ago on May 2 - the 1.6 release line will have received 3 years of support. Note that even though the community won't provide further releases, the software is considered highly stable and will keep working as it has. This End-Of-Life announcement has no impact on migration paths to newer versions of LedgerSMB: upgrades from 1.6 to more recent versions will remain supported for many years to come. (Upgrade paths from LedgerSMB 1.2 and 1.3 have seen recent maintenance.) Should you want to keep running 1.6 and be in need of support or maintenance, you could try contacting one of the parties listed on the page for commercial support: https://ledgersmb.org/content/commercial-support. They may be able to provide support beyond the community commitment. Available options for versions with community support are the 1.7 release line which will receive community releases until October 04, 2022 or the 1.8 release line which will see community support until September 04, 2022. (For releases 1.8 and newer, only 2 years of community support have been committed due to the increased release frequency: new minor versions are now released on a yearly basis.) For community support until 2023, upgrading to 1.9 is advised, which is expected to be released later this summer. -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP. Robust and Flexible.

Migrating from 1.3 to 1.8
by Victor Wren 05 May '21

05 May '21

After I lost a hard drive on my server, I've been reconstructing from backups, and decided this is a good time to finally migrate away from 1.3.25 to 1.8.11, which I normally wouldn't dream of right before needed to do taxes, but needs must. After much trial and error, I've got the server up and talking to Chrome through PSGI. I have gotten as far as setup.pl, and tried migrating one of my company databases. The migration crashed with: "Failed to execute pre-migration check no_null_ac_amounts at /usr/local/ledgersmb/tools/../lib/LedgerSMB/Scripts/setup.pm line 669." "dbversion 1.5.30, company" "Status: 500 Internal server error (PSGI.pm run_new)" The starman log has a possibly relevant error : Failed to execute bin/lsmb-request.pl (): Can't locate PatternLayout.pm in @INC (you may need to install the PatternLayout module) (@INC contains: /usr/local/ledgersmb/tools/../lib /usr/local/ledgersmb/tools/.. lib /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.26.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.26.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.26.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.26.0 /usr/lib/perl5/5.26.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.26.0) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.26.0/Log/Log4perl/Util.pm line 51. ...propagated at /usr/local/ledgersmb/tools/../lib/LedgerSMB.pm line 517. cpan reports that PatternLayout.pm is up to date. (/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.26.0/Log/Log4perl/Layout/PatternLayout.pm) PERL5LIB points to /usr/lib/perl5/site-perl/5.26.0/ Grasping at straws, I added a path to /usr/local/ledgersmb/ with no change I'm running Postgresql 13.2, Perl 5.26.0, and Apache 2.4.27 with reverse proxy to starman running on port 5762. I have a "pg_dumpall" backup of my databases, so I can experiment, but at the moment I'm stumped. Victor
