Livecode server at Dreamhost

[stephen barncard]

sorry, I should have responded earlier.

you should not have to put any scripts into the cgi folder, and they would
not be usable from web pages.

in my configuration, I've used TWO .htaccess files

this one at domain root (top of web space)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Options +ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
AddHandler livecode-script .lc .irev
DirectoryIndex index.irev index.lc index.php index.html
Action livecode-script /cgi-bin/livecode-server/livecode-server
-------------------------------------------------------------------

this one inside the cgi-bin directory

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Options ExecCGI
SetHandler cgi-script
-------------------------------------------------------------------

permissions must be set in a certain way and downloaded zips may not be
when extracted.
this works for me at Dreamhost. Note that this allows PHP and Livecode
scripts to co-exist, just use the appropriate suffix and code according to
the languages' requirements.
