FYI I could never get the old revolution server executable to work at Dreamhost.
Livecode server 4.6 is a completely improved and more complete product. I would suggest that one upgrade to the latest version. There are so many new features and it ROCKS!! Andre and I got Livecode Server 4.6.x to work on shared hosting at Dreamhost using the .htaccess method. We could not get it to work consistently with a central installation at root using a higher level server plan (VPS) with root access. The Dreamhost control panel kept getting in the way. Perhaps someone else can get it to work but it's impossible that method without real root access. The* htaccess method* requires a cgi-bin folder for each domain that needs LIvecode with the server code. The licensing model works for this as long as the executables are on the same server, not just a single domain. here's the hierarchy: ()=directory - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - *(site root)* *.htaccess file A* *(cgi-bin) * *.htaccess file B* *(livecode-server) * *(drivers)* *(externals)* *livecode-server (executable file)* - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - *two* htaccess files are used: htaccess file A (at domain root) *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* htaccess file B (inside cgi-bin) *Options +ExecCGI* *SetHandler cgi-script* - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - PERMISSIONS -- (very important) All files = 755 the livecode-server executable comes set at 644 so you need to change it to 755. thanks again to the incredibly helpful Andrea Garzia for really sorting this out for me.
