This is my preferred method by far, at least for what I do. My 
"index.lc" landing page looks like this:

<?lc
-- respond to pingdom.com bot without launching system -- PD 20161102
if "pingdom.com" is in $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"] then
     put "<html><body>Hi Pingdom!</body></html>"
     exit to top
end if

set the errormode to "inline"

-- use lib folder as the default folder
put url ("file:/home/myaccount/myproject/config/libfolder") into tLibFolder
set the defaultFolder to tLibFolder

try -- let the stack script respond to the request
     start using stack "projectname.livecode"
catch tErr -- error messages from 'throw' commands
     put "ERROR:" & CR before tErr
     replace CR with "<br>" in tErr
     put tErr
end try
?>

Then the "projectname.livecode" library stack put other stacks into use 
depending on the nature of the request, and together they do absolutely 
everything. (They merge data into pre-made HTML pages and serve them, 
but also keep track of training accounts, titles, licensing, training 
sessions, you name it.)

Names have been changed to protect the innocent. ("Dragnet" music plays
