After a bit of trial and error - many errors, Andre Garzia helped me get my new Livecode server running at Dreamhost*. Twice.
I hope I am not 'stealing his thunder' here because I owe him a great deal of gratitude for getting my sites working with LCS.( I know he wants to talk about it - when this very busy gentleman gets a second of time I am sure he will have plenty of informative things to tell us.) First tried the ".htaccess" method on my shared account. Couldn't make it work, just displayed the binary of the executable into the browser. Garbage. Andre tried too. so then I got a VPS account with access to "root" - well sort of. Andre made some changes in the Apache config file which was now accessible (as per the instructions) got LCS working everywhere in the server with one installation. We were all celebrating when I tried to bring over more domains using the control panel. The site move trounced the Apache config file. hey, this was just too delicate to be useful. Besides - I really don't need LC on all my domains. Sheepishly, I cried "ANDRE" !! Andre went back in and finally came up with simple changes to the suggested ".htaccess" file and it works! working file structure: (site root) .htaccess (htaccess1 file at site root) *(cgi-bin)* (directory) .htaccess (htaccess2 file inside cgi-bin) *(livecode-server)* livecode-server (application binary - set to 755!) *(externals)* *(drivers)* .... other site files script of .htaccess #1 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 script of .htaccess #2 Options ExecCGI SetHandler cgi-script Wonderfulness! Livecode running on all my own sites at last. *next: actually using the new version 4.6.3 - and an editor surprise.* * disclaimer - On-Rev is a great service and most people would be happy just hosting there and be done with it, rather than hosting elsewhere and setting up their own server. Half my sites being at Dreamhost (and many email addresses and namesake domain) and a long history with the Dreamhost had a lot to do with me trying to do this. I am sort of a control freak. But I never found anything objectionable in ON-Rev's quality of service. -- -- Stephen Barncard San Francisco Ca.
