My questions is: If I kill myself creating a complex live code database app that works great as a stand-alone and as a revlet using the web delpoyment module, can I turn around and run that program on the server, as is?

If so, HOW?
There might some confusion here. Let's recap :

-the server won't be able to run an "app". The server interprets LiveCode scripts. The newest version allows to run "stack"
(see documentation : http://tinyurl.com/3ua5cch
http://www.runrev.com/developers/documentation/server/

But you can't have "graphic".

-to have an idea of how it's working :

Not a lot here to go on. I checked all the 'samples', but I still have more questions than answers.

After watching screencasts, now I get it. Live Code server uses scripts that are very HTML like. No graphical front end. You would marry it to Live Code programs. However, to run something in a browser, it would have to be scripted. Unfortunately, that will not work for me.

Not sure how stacks are run and what the result would look like. Is there an online example or video of a running stack?
