Uploading Files with LiveCode Server

Mon Dec 30 18:38:43 EST 2013

I think you're getting the error 500 because your script doesn't produce 
any output.

Just adding a line something like
    put "File uploaded OK"

near the end should be enough

(or of course, detect any errors if they do occur, include the file name 
in the message, ...)

I am able to create an upload form and move the uploaded file from the tmp folder on my Mac to another folder using a shell command. There are only two problems left that I need to fix. One is that an internal server error occurs (error 500) and it is output to the web page. The other problem is that the moved file has read and write access for group _WWW but no access for anyone else.
