LiveCode Server Setup Issue

[LiveCodeBeginner]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to setup LiveCode Server via Apache and I am running into an issue. I am not sure what it is. I will post what I did below.

1. I modified the httpd.conf file to include what was specified in the installation manual:

Code: Select all

<Directory "C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs">
    #
    # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
    # or any combination of:
    #   Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
    #
    # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
    # doesn't give it to you.
    #
    # The Options directive is both complicated and important.  Please see
    # http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
    # for more information.
    #
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

    #
    # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
    # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
    #   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    #
    AllowOverride None

    #
    # Controls who can get stuff from this server.
    #
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

</Directory>

<Directory "C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    AddHandler livecode-script .lc
    Action livecode-script /livecode-cgi/livecode-server.exe
 
</Directory>

<Directory "C:\Users\******\Documents\LiveCodeServer\livecode-server.exe">
    Options ExecCGI
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /livecode-cgi/livecode-server.exe "C:\Users\******\Documents\LiveCodeServer\livecode-server.exe"

Now when I run the test.LC file I get 404 error every time? I've restarted the apache server multiple times as well. Nothing seems to be working?

I've placed the file in the:

Code: Select all

#
# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"

Have I missed anything? Is it a permission issue?

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thank you.

I'm guessing from the filenames that you are trying to install LiveCode Server on Windows.

It seems that you have two definitions of <Directory "C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs">.

Also this line:

Code: Select all

Action livecode-script /livecode-cgi/livecode-server.exe

You specify that the path to the livecode-server binary is C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/livecode-cgi/livecode-server.exe. Is that where you have put it?

Hi,

I've never tried running LC Server on Windows but maybe my tutorials for Linux and Mac can help as the configuration of the Apache should be similar:

Hope it helps.
