Every computer problem can be solved by determining the differences 
between the working and non-working states.

If the only thing you've changed is the engine file, check that the 
permissions for that are executable (chmod 755 <filename>).

Also, make sure your .htaccess file has been updated to point to the new 
executable.

If that doesn't do it, we're then in Whiskey Tango Foxtrot land, since 
those are the only two things *you've* changed, so we need to look at 
what may have changed in the system config.

You could try running the Server app by passing it the name of your .lc 
file from the command line to make sure the app runs and that it's able 
to return values:

    ./livecode-server  somefile.lc

If you encounter any issues they should show up in your terminal.

If none of that helps, let us know and we'll diagnose further.
