Session expired immediately after logging in

Submitted by ehu on

When I log in, LedgerSMB 1.8 or higher immediately says my session has expired. What can I do to fix this?

Short answer: add the "--preload-app" flag to the Starman command line.

Long answer: As of LedgerSMB 1.8, session information is stored in an encrypted cookie. To make sure the encryption key is unique for every installation, a new encryption secret is being generated each time LedgerSMB is started. However, Starman (without the "--preload-app" flag) loads the application in each forked worker separately, leading to different encryption secrets in each worker with the indicated behaviour as a result.

Overview

Company database upgrades are supported all the way back from 1.4 directly to 1.10, using the 1.10 software. Company database upgrades from 1.3 and 1.2 are also supported, but due to the different nature of the upgrade process are called "migrations". The important difference being that when doing a migration, a copy of the data is being created in the 1.9 structure, while upgrades adjust the existing structure for 1.10.

Does LedgerSMB support "sub-accounts"?

Submitted by ehu on

Yes. LedgerSMB has a mechanism called "Account headings". The headings are the opposite of what Intuit explains about Quickbooks for their subaccount support: Quickbooks splits an account into multiple and aggregates those new accounts into the old one for reporting. To achieve the same in LedgerSMB, you create multiple accounts and one or more headings. LedgerSMB then aggregates the totals of the accounts per heading. The system used by LedgerSMB closely resembles what MYOB describes about their accounts and headers.

Yes.
