I use it a lot for development. I've never put IIS on any of my development machines, I don't shy from it for work but these days much less work comes from IIS than from clients with an Apache/MySQL/PHP setup/requirement. I expect you will find it a lot easier to configure, and there are lots of resources generally.

SQLite is a "textfile" based db, and you should be able to access it via a filepath, rather than a url. Not a very robust solution though. (I have used SQLite over a network connection in a "proof-of-concept" scenario before clients commit to sourcing a "proper" multiuser relational db, with workable results. There was no need for a "web" server to host the db in this case though, just a shared file location.)
Hey SparkOut,
Thanks for this verbose posting.

I'm scratching me head trying to figure out if I want to persue the LiveCode Server released in v4.6.3.
The Server doco reads like I have to have Apache already setup and working.
And I'm wondering if its worth the hassel.
As I've spent quite a bit of time already setting upa and testing against IIS 5.1 on WinXP32.
I also read about the setup of LiveCode Server using scripts.
Which has warning bells going off as I would certainly prefer the setup to be automated instead of manual.
With me not knowing where to start.

Any suggestions, from anyone, on how to get the LiveCode Server setup on IIS 5.1 on WinXP32 would be greatly appreciated.
All my best,
Barry G. Sumpter
