It seems I have a working setup.
Following Stephen's suggestion I reordered the files a bit. I'll try to make
the description as detailed as possible. Maybe someone else could use this.
(The numbers in brackets show permissions):
|- .htaccess (644)
|- lc (755)
|- test.lc (644)
|- cgi-bin (775)
|- .htaccess (644)
|- livecode-server
|- livecode-community-server (775)
|- drivers (755)
|- dbmysql.so (664)
|- dbodbc.so (664)
|- dbpostgresql.so (664)
|- dbsqlite.so (664)
|- externals (775)
|- revdb.so (664)
|- revxml.so (664)
|- revzip.so (664)
The .htaccess file on root level contains:
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-community-server
The .htaccess file in the cgi-bin folder:
Options ExecCGI
SetHandler cgi-script
If I put a ".cgi" after the server's name both in the .htaccess file and in the
file name itself, the setup still works. But if I remove the .htaccess file in
the cgi-bin folder I get an error no matter if there is a ".cgi" or not. I
think it is actually this second .htaccess that makes the difference.
Thanks to you both
Thomas
