If you're planning to make your server accessible over the internet...
Dynamic DNS solves the problem of the normally non-static IP addresses
handed out by ISPs. I just recently signed up at http://duckdns.org/ so
I can predictably ssh into my on-rev accounts without needing to have a
whitelisted IP. On-rev support whitelisted my DDNS domain name instead
(which is actually a free subdomain at duckdns.org) instead of my
current IP, and now all is right with the world. At least that world.

Hi Nakia,
you only would need a domain name if you want to make your „server“ accessible
from the internet. And even then you do not need a domain.
If you have a static ip from your isp you could use these ip address to connect
to the server. Or if you have a dynamic ip address from your isp you could use
a free dynamic dns service where you let your server automatically update that
ip every time you get a new one from your isp.

Okay,
Thanks.
I figured for testing I could install it on my local machine and I would be
off. Going further forward though maybe I can install this on an old windows PC
I have, buy a domain name and I have my own 'server' environment that I can use
for my small programs I build..
Am I correct with this line of thinking?

Nakia,
On the Mac, which is the only system I've tried it on, you get a ready to go
installation. You can set it to have a different port and local host IP
address, so you don't need a domain name. The setup tells you how to do this. I
also have an installation on a separate server that I can access remotely, but
for testing, it's most convenient on my local development machine. The WAMP
version probably is different in many details, but on the Mac, it's
ridiculously easy to set up. I created a pretty hairy php code with a debugger,
breakpoints and all, where I wanted to tie into a drupal login system to verify
a user for a separate application. And I'm pretty crappy with php. I think, if
you just jump in and try it, you will be happy, but then it's windows, so.....
I'd be interested in hearing how the windows installation goes.
Best,
Bill

Thanks everyone for these suggestions. Guess what I am doing this afternoon!
Dumb question (please don't laugh) if I get this working the way I want and all
the stuff I need is small (small database, minimal traffic) can I just keep it
on this dedicated PC of mine ?
Guess I just need to buy a domain? Is that correct?
Remember, please don't laugh...

Google WAMP. On the Mac, it's MAMP. Easy to install, contains Apache, MySQL,
and php. You can run it on your desktop computer. Also, free. Install is
trivial. You can install the LC server on it and do your testing. It's so easy
I don't know why more folks don't suggest it.

Hi,
I want to learn how to use LC server scripts (try and improve my knowledge and
progress my learning) but currently don't have access to a web-server.
Can some offer some advice for cheap (best free) web server space that I could
use to do some testing..
Needs to be able to run LC scripts and MySQL database. I have no interest in
building a website with this server. I also want to use this server to host a
MySQL database that a desktop allocation will communicate to (I presume I can
do this over internet? Connect to an online MySQL database from a desktop
LiveCode application)
Any advice someone might have would be appreciated...
