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

Taxes
by Mathew Cox 22 Feb '22

22 Feb '22

Question; my business is one where we go to different areas and provide service to customers. Each county has a different sales tax rate and the cities within each county also can have a different sales tax rate as well. Total there are 13 entities with different sales tax rates that my customer base resides within. Setting the default sales tax rate doesn't really fit since there isn't a single tax as I'm not brick and mortar. The only solution I've worked out in my head is to add each of these entities in the chart of accounts as a liability, manually add a percentage to an invoice, and then use a journal entry to manually transfer the appropriate amount of tax to the appropriate entity in the chart of accounts. Is there a better way to do this? Mathew

by Erik Huelsmann 22 Feb '22

Hi! The project received a Hebrew translation last week. Which is great! Unfortunately, we have a few translations without translators. These translations have very good translation levels already and merely need to be kept up to date. We're looking for translators for: - Malay - Spanish (various variants; e.g. Colombian, Paraguayan) - Portugese For any other languages without translators - for which the effort required to get to a good translation level might be a bit higher, though - please have a look at https://www.transifex.com/ledgersmb/ledgersmb/dashboard/ If you need help getting started, please drop by in our chat channel at https://app.element.io/#/room/#ledgersmb:matrix.org or reply to this e-mail on this mailing list so we can help you get started!

So, I think the quickest and simplest way to resolve your situation is to change the content of your "ledgersmb-starman.service" file. If you change the line --listen localhost:5762 \ to --port 5762 \ and run systemctl daemon-reload and then restart the service (systemctl restart ledgersmb-starman), you should see netstat output with column 4 " 0.0.0.0:5762" and column 5 "0.0.0.0:*" for the ledgersmb starman server. You should also be able to access the service from any other devices on your home network. Please note that your password can be snooped by anybody with access to your network with this setup (at login time) because the connection won't be encrypted to the server. (I already understood you to be aware of this, but whoever reads this conversation on the mailing list, might have missed that earlier part of the conversation.) > There is much I don’t understand from this point because I can simply go > to the machine address (192.168.88.15) and I get the standard nginx > greeting. > > > > Everything else has worked flawlessly. > There's just a single other downside to not using the proxy: when using the proxy, the static assets will be served by the ledgersmb-starman instead of by Nginx and in terms of speed and resource use, nginx is much faster and more efficient. The one time this is most noticeable is when you log in, so if you're satisfied with the login speed you get, then there's no reason to try to set up the reverse proxy for that purpose. > I did try and connect through port (http://192.168.88.15:5762) and that > page couldn’t be reached. > Yea. As Pete pointed out: the ledgersmb-starman server isn't listening on 192.168.88.15; it's only listening on ::1/128 and/or 127.0.0.1 (on the same port). > Now take what I’m about to say with a grain of salt as it comes from a > place of ignorance: > To keep focus, I'll wait for you to make the above changes and see if you're satisfied with those. After you are (or if you need the reverse proxy after all so you need the steps below), we can go oven the steps below and what they should have been.

There's explicitly not a guide on the main site because it might encourage people to set up LedgerSMB insecurely.

What does this mean? It is a little confusing as it seems to be stating the error is at line 145 but there are only 144 lines in ledgersmb.conf. -- The job identifier is 2922.
