Using Stacks With LiveCode Server

[Mike Bonner]

I can get it to work outside my web folder (from my desktop) but I have
permissions set so that owner is me with full permissions (rwx) ,group _www
is read (r) (_www on moutain lion server is the www group) it would also
matter what permissions are on the containing folder of course.  It is most
likely safer to contain all your files in the server root, but it can be
outside the document root. I can hit it fine this way when its on the
desktop, but again permissions on the containing folder might get in the
way.

As for how I know it will only work with legacy, there was a discussion on
the forums with a rev response "will be updated soon to support 5.5
format.."   And I just did a quick test, "the version" is listed as 5.0.2
so I think (but haven't specifically tested) that there is still no support
for the new stack version.  *goes to check*

Yep, 5.5 is still not supported and fails with these results

file "/Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/mysite.tiny.local/test.lc"
  row 3, col 7: Chunk: can't find stack
  row 3, col 1: start: can't find object
