LiveCode Server 8.1 - installing

[Graham Samuel]

I admit to knowing nothing at all about Linux. I am using Jacque’s Zygodact product running as a CGI as part of a website which is hosted by DreamHost - this is to sell a product via FastSpring. Matthias Rebbe has very generously explained how to do this (I mean how to set up the selling of a download product via FastSpring using Zygodact to get the license codes). I **almost** got it working (it actually did work for one out of two products) when I noticed that the version of LiveCode Server I was using was one of the LC7 series, so I decided to update it. 

Now nothing works, and the instructions on the LiveCode site don’t seem to apply to me at all - they seem to imply that I have full control of Apache on DreamHost, but I don’t. All I’ve got is my own modest web presence, a CGI folder and so on. I tried simply replacing the old LC Server folder with the new one, but that seems to have no effect at all. I can’t run a test program (test.lc or whatever) from a browser, and the tests which were working on the FastSpring site - which call LC programs on the server - now don’t work at all.

Obviously I have made a massive error, but what is it? I just want to be able to run some .lc programs on the server - it doesn’t seem much to ask.

In over my head and seeking any advice.
