Server Installation

Mon Jun 19 12:14:47 EDT 2017

Hi Bob,

I keep the latest LC Server version in my Desktop. I also have a LC_SERVER
folder, in which I put the old LC Server as soon as I download a new
version. So, when a new LC Server version is released, I do the following:

1. Download latest LC Server on Desktop
2. Right-click on livecode-server executable and check the "Executable"
permission
3. sudo nano '/etc/apache2/apache2.conf'

4. Change the existing paths to point to the LC Server you downloaded in
step 1

Here are the changes I do to the file: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:

<Directory /var/www/>
        Options FollowSymLinks Multiviews
        MultiviewsMatch Any
        AllowOverride None
#       Order allow,deny
#       allow from all
        Require all granted
        AddHandler lcscript .lc
        Action lcscript /livecode-cgi/livecode-server
</Directory>

<Directory "/home/panos/Desktop/LiveCodeServer-9_0_0_dp_7-Linux-x86_64">
        Options ExecCGI
#       Order allow,deny
#       Allow from all
#       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Require all granted
#       Options all
#       AllowOverride All
#       Require all granted
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /livecode-cgi/
/home/panos/Desktop/LiveCodeServer-9_0_0_dp_7-Linux-x86_64/

5. sudo apache2ctl restart
6. Type in Firefox: localhost/test.lc
7. In case of an error, the error log is in /var/log/apache2/error.log

Note that the "test.lc" file is located in /var/www/html/, and it contains
the following code:

<html><head><title>LiveCode Server Test</title></head><body>

<?lc

put "Hello from  " & the version

?>

</body><html>

Best,
Panos
