LiveCode Server on OS X

[Bob Sneidar]

Sounds like someone has messed with the permissions. Try running permission repair before doing anything drastic. If there is a service that cannot access it’s own data, something got borked. 

AFP in and of itself does not create the permissions of a folder, although there are utilities that can manage the permissions. Even if AFP were not running, the permissions would remain. They are stored with the folder itself. 

What has likely occurred is that instead of using LOCAL permissions for services that need access to given folders, someone assigned Open Directory permissions instead. I can see how that might be problematic. 

Apache is to my knowledge not using Open Directory for authentication and permissions, so your IT needs to make sure that the proper LOCAL permissions are intact on any folders that Apache needs to access.

The admin wants to discontinue web services on that machine and move all our mirrors to another server so that our server on the LAN does one thing only: AFP file sharing. (I'm not convinced that doing all three is not doable.. but those in charge can't seem to resolve issues and this is their solution...)

I run some shelll commands from the *.lc files. for instances you can use the locate database on the machine to do some very powerful searches and get a better UI for search than Spotlight and offer users all kinds of features/filters... I do this with a desktop client that currently posts search string to the CGI.lc which then run a locate look up and returns results via port 80 to the desktop client.
