Dreamhost sale only on September 5

[stephen barncard]

FYI   I could never get the old revolution server executable to work at
Dreamhost.

Livecode server 4.6 is a completely improved and more complete product.  I
would suggest that one upgrade to the latest version. There are so many new
features and it ROCKS!!

Andre and I got Livecode Server 4.6.x to work on shared hosting at Dreamhost
using the .htaccess method. We could not get it to work consistently with a
central installation at root using a higher level server plan (VPS) with
root access. The Dreamhost control panel kept getting in the way. Perhaps
someone else can get it to work but it's impossible that method without real
root access.

The* htaccess method* requires a cgi-bin folder for each domain that needs
LIvecode with the server code. The licensing model works for this as long as
the executables are on the same server, not just a single domain.

here's the hierarchy:  ()=directory
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
*(site root)*

*.htaccess file A*
*(cgi-bin)  *

*.htaccess file B*

*(livecode-server)  *

*(drivers)*

*(externals)*

*livecode-server  (executable file)*


- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

*two* htaccess files are used:

htaccess file A  (at domain root)

*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*


htaccess file B (inside cgi-bin)


*Options +ExecCGI*
*SetHandler cgi-script*


- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PERMISSIONS   -- (very important)

All files = 755    the livecode-server executable comes set at 644 so you
need to change it to 755.


thanks again to the incredibly helpful Andrea Garzia for really sorting this
out for me. I still owe you, bud.
