Hi folks,
I've summarised the knowledge I gleaned from this forum, the list archives and this RunRev lesson http://lessons.runrev.com/spaces/lesson ... -revServer into a How-to guide. http://blog.clarityforsuccess.com/2011/ ... buntu.html
I hope it helps.
Best,

LiveCode Server is a really interesting product. too bad that there is such a silence arount it, and such a lack of documentation.
So, let's make some noise.
I tried to write my own experiences with LiveCode Server (here on the forum). But I start to think a that blog, like yours, is a better way.

Thanks for the kind words bangkok.
As to whether blogs help? IMHO They're not the best vehicle for community collaboration, knowledge management or FAQs and I'd prefer an alternative mechanism to contribute. Blogs are best suited to help people and organisations seeking to position themselves as experts or orators - most blogs say "come to my place, listen to me (and often, "oh and while you're here...)"
The forum and user lists are great for informal peer-to-peer community help - and contain great information - but:
• Information is fragmented, of variable quality (lots of "yeah, me too" statements) and not necessarily true or up to date. There is no quality control, so the user must filter for relevance (often through trial and error);
• Accessibility is limited to search criteria, which is why many users resort to new postings to get a human to help define the search criteria or locate answers. This means similar questions get asked over and over, exacerbating the above fragmentation problem;
In short, forums are best at peer-to-peer communications amongst 'us down here', blogs are best for top-down communications and moderated wikis are best for converging best practice - just think of wikipedia.
Fortunately, there is just such a community wiki initiative, being driven by David Bovill, which may help the situation. I'm sure there will be news in the next few weeks via http://blog.livecode.tv/

Re: LiveCode revServer deployment on Linux (Ubuntu)
hope this is not too off topic:
would rev server also works on a SuSe Linux Server running with apache? because in the store is written "Red Hat Enterprise Linux". and till yet I did not found more information about this.
EDIT: as I found with phpinfo() I have "Linux tux77 2.6.22.19-0.4-default"
