Server means a "Plug-in"?

Hi there,
I just want to know is LiveCode Server a plug-in/a standalone App, which I can install on my OSX-Server without dis-config my running web-, mail-, ...-server?

LC server runs as a cgi. You have a couple options. If .htaccess overrides are allowed on your system you can use an .htaccess file to set up the addHandler and Action directives necessary to use lc server.

Alternatively you can edit the config files by hand and then restart the web server to make the changes system wide.

If I recall, the file to edit is /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/httpd_server_app.conf Unfortunately, it seems to me that every time osx server updates (on ML for me), things break, and not just lc. I have to reset my virtual hosts pretty much every time. The most recent update moved all of my files to a backup folder and replaced everything. So, do keep backups of all your conf files before doing updates just in case.
