Hi Martin, I agree with your proposed approach. But keep in mind that you can upgrade revIgniter directly to the latest version as long as you go the upgrade route as described in the user guide, see Upgrading from 1.10.3 to 2.0.0. The description applies to your case even if you upgrade from vers

Re: LC Server - HTTP response code 500: permission denied error

If your server environment is 64bit and you upgrade your revIgniter installation to 2.x then from my point of view there is no reason not to use the latest stable LC server version. In any case the revIgniter version 2.x requires LC server 9.0 or higher. Ralf > On 19. Feb 2020, at 15:09, Martin
