Did you tell the system on which the browser is running, which IP
that 'LedgerSMB' name has? Or put it your local DNS? Also; if you're
using the default setup, you should be using "https", not "http".
And note (in case you don't already know) that browsers like
Chromium really don't like using https with ssl certs like what we're
using by default (a valid ssl cert but not one that is registered
where the browser knows of), but how you get around that and still get
the secure session depends on the browser.
(But yes, despite such dns & ssl issues, we still recommend using
secure broswer session to access the LSMB app.)
I tried adding the machines IP as the servername, but
that didn't work either.
In what way did you try adding it? In the URL?
For instance, although I also have LXCs/VMs running on a local
server, I usually have test containers running on my laptop. And don't
have the networking where those are running accessible outside of the
laptop. So rather than adding the server name for the LXC to the DNS
on the laptop (since the IP can change depending on what other
containers have been started), I just use the IP. For example; if
10.0.0.231 is the IP, then for the LSMB setup login page I would use
https://10.0.0.231/setup.pl. Or, https://10.0.0.231/login.pl for the
login page.

I am trying to install LedgerSMB on a laptop running SUSE Tumbleweed

I think my prerequisites are OK.
1. The downloaded tarball does not contain a setup.pl or a login.pl file.
Question should these be present or does the apache rewrite module inf
effect create them from something else
2. I cannot find the SSL certificates.
Question Where should I look? Or should I attempt to create them myself.
3. Instead of going whole hog at the installation, I have tried to fist
create a virtual host called lsmb and I've set its document root to my
home directory and put an index.html file there which displays its path
and filename.
I failed to get apache2 to accept this until i altered the vhosts file
to turn the SQLEngine off. Then Apache worked to the extent that It did
change the DocumentRoot to my home dir and displayed the index file..
Can anyone help?

1. The downloaded tarball does not contain a setup.pl or a login.pl file.

The LSMB app takes care of it. If you use apache as the web
proxy, then the rewrite ensures that a URL ending in just "/" goes to
the /login.pl page, and page requests are otherwise reverse proxied to
the LSMB application itself up on http://localhost:5762
2. I cannot find the SSL certificates.

It appears that SUSE has an example SSL certificate package similar
to how it is available in Debian:
"An example certificate for a hypothetical company Snake Oil is
available when installing the package
apache2-example-certificates."[1]

Where is the login.pl page?
When I search the files in the download, the only login.pl I can find is
a reference under the UI directory where there are calls which include
action=login.pl
Similarly with setup.pl there are in .html files under UI/setup which
have action="setup.pl" statements
But I cannot find either login.pl or setup.pl
OK. I will look into this further.
I have found in /etc/ssl/private 3 files with my full (false) DNS
cname:acer.og.gen.nz as prefix to a .crt, .csr, and .key files which
seem to contain example ssl file.
Maybe I can use these to get LedgerSMB working.

Not the most recent available (which is 1.6.10) but certainly usable.

That's because they're virtual; i.e., they're URLs, not files.

I'm sorry, I don't understand that; if it's a valid DNS cname, how
is false? Or is it not really in DNS?
Maybe I can use these to get LedgerSMB working.
That indeed could be usable that way. Just edit the example
apache-vhost.conf file for use with that.
If that name is not actually in your local DNS (where ever you're
attempting to browser from), you'll need to take care of that.

In fact PGObject.pm is in /local/ledgersmb/lib/LedgerSMB (I'veloaded

Should I move PGObject.pm somewhere else?
Any advice would be gratefully received.
