Configuring Livecode-server

Post by waprothero » Thu Oct 11, 2012 12:52 am

I'm learning how to use the livecode-server app. I've got it working, but I see that, in the folder are two sub-folders named: drivers and externals. Where should these go? Do they go on the server? Or, should they go in the plug-ins folder of the live code app. And, should they be in a sub-directory of the directory containing the livecode-server file, named either "drivers" or "externals", like in the unzipped livecode server folder?

I've checked the docs and they are unclear.

The server executable should be in your cgi-bin directory. Wherever your webserver has cgi-bin aliased to. The 2 folders should be placed next to the executable though I believe there are other ways. (an environment variable, and one of the library paths, but its been a while since I read that doc) Either way just copy the livecode-server and 2 folders into your cgi-bin folder, and then of course edit your web server files as needed to get things working.
