LiveCode Server

[SirWobbyTheFirst]

I was wondering what the plans are for the server version of LC? I'd really like to put it to use for a website as my PHP is still fairly basic, I am what a guy, who's name has completely slipped my mind, refers to as a blog post programmer, I put together a lot of the crap using blog posts on websites and tips and tricks from my Uni mate and I don't think I can truly advance in my life unless I do it myself.

Besides apparently Linus Torvalds had a quote which, despite me being a Windows and Mac fan boy, went "It's manlier to do it yourself." That boy got some major logic right there, but yeah, if anyone has any information on the server, I'd appreciate it a lot.

Additionally, it would be helpful to know if the next build will include the fix for dealing with 64-bit inodes.

Already planning my website, I do have one question though, what could we use as a mail function? Because the LC lesson for emailing uses the sendmail command and my hosting plan doesn't allow access to the shell in order to use said command. So is there an alternative shy, of populating the $_POST variable and sending to a PHP script instead?

There are a couple of well-known LiveCode libraries that can help you putting together a web site or web app - so you don't have to start from scratch, and reinvent the wheel. Both libraries have mailing functions built-in, so you don't have to 'roll your own'... The libraries are:

I have been trying to get the simple program "hello World" to work using the latest community server on a shared server.(123 Reg) I have literally tried many combinations derived from all the good instructions and forum replies, My experience with cgi's has in the past been very good and dates back to Jacqueline Landman-Gay's brilliant articles. So I know most of the tricks.
I cannot make it work. I changed the .htaccess contents to refer to the server name now includes the word community. This stopped me getting the dreaded 500. What happens now is I get a huge file returned which contains some gobble de gook and some code. Support at 123 reg seems reluctant to proved the error logs and suggest I look at their Perl script help files!!

If any forum member has managed to make a simple test work I would be grateful to know of any way in addition to the Livecode instructions that they used. eg their .htaccess file and example code

Head scratching not working now.

Whilst I'm not having Flume's problem, I cannot for the life of me get the Start Session command to work, it always errors out but it doesn't generate a 500 error instead, it just causes the engine to dump an error. I made a topic about it but there has been no reply yet.

You might make sure that lc server hasn't lost its execute privileges. It sounds like you're betting the binary of lc server because its not executing, just being dumped to your screen.
