Hi,

For a couple of months now, I'm stuck with a small problem and maybe some of 
you could explain a few things...

I would love to create webbased products, but the need for the web-plugin 
scares me a little.
Also, I want to be able to use centralized data (mySQL-based) in my local 
clients, but the ports to access the mySQL database is closed in the firewall 
of most companies.

So I started to take a closer look into what I know: LiveCode and more 
specific, deploying for web, the web-server and CGI features of LiveCode

The current LiveCode engine cannot be use as a CGI engine anymore, need to use 
version 3.5 or lower for this. So this is no option.
The (upcoming) Server Deployment Pack is still in beta but it's specs show 
everything I need...

So my question(s):
- Is there already a price set for the Server Deployment Pack?
- Do I need to start writing php-code or php-like code, to work with this 
"revServer"?
- What is the difference in deploying for web or using the Server Deployment 
Pack?

And maybe the most "burning" question right now:
I need to access my mySQL database, which is accessible through the default 
mySQL port. Because of security-issues, this is not allowed at most companies, 
so I need to create some kind of web-service, that accepts SQL queries and 
returns the result.
Do I need to get a PHP programmer, to do this for me, do I need to use the 3.5 
engine and write some CGI scripts for this, or do I need to get the beta 
version of the Server Deployment Pack?

I've found a tutorial about the CGI by Jacqueline Landman Gay, it seems Rodney 
Tamblyn and Monte Goulding have written a powerful library called LibCGI, but I 
can't find it anywhere. Then lately there is a lot of talk about RevIgnitor, 
but I believe this is a third-party product, only useful when using the Server 
Deployment Pack?

hmmm... way to many questions... Someone, please enlighten me ;-)


Met vriendelijke groeten,
Warm regards,
