[Pkg-sql-ledger-discussion] Bug#725783: ledgersmb: /var/lib/ledgersmb/css does not work, but /usr/share/ledgersmb/css does

[Moshe Yudkowsky]

Package: ledgersmb
Version: 1.3.25-1
Severity: normal

For reasons that I can't understand and have not been able to fix, CSS 
does not work with this package out of the box. The original 
configuration information for /lsmbcss in ledgersmb-httpd.conf gives me 
these errors:

[Mon Oct 07 22:28:44.398525 2013] [authz_core:error] [pid 13615] [client 
127.0.0.1:38057] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: 
/var/lib/ledgersmb/css/ledgersmb.css, referer: 
http://localhost/ledgersmb/login.pl


To fix this, I have substituted the following for the appropriate piece 
of the original configuration:

Alias /lsmbcss /usr/share/ledgersmb/css/
<Directory /usr/share/ledgersmb/css>
   Order Deny,Allow
   Allow from 127.0.0.1
   Allow from localhost
   Deny from All
</Directory>

This works and appears to give identical results in terms of appearance.
