Useful Starman commands.
Using the perl based Starman webserver is the easiest way to run LedgerSMB locally (and quite possibly for production use as well).
## At the terminal, and from your LedgerSMB directory:
### Start Starman
starman tools/starman.psgi
Default port is 5000.
starman -l :8080 tools/starman.psgi
Start with 8080 specified as the port.
Note: some documentation specifies the switch
--preload-app
It has been sugggested that this may give performance advantages in a production environment but isn't recommended while developing.
The manpage has more to say on this.
The best way to get (free) help is to join one of the LedgerSMB mailing lists or browse the mailing list archives for past advice:
In general: neither. The advice is to have the full source tree in /opt/ledgersmb/<version>.
