installing LiveCode Server on Mamp

[dave.kilroy]

Hi all

I've pored over previous postings on the forum (such as http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=11587) as well as the use-list - but I'm stuck - and I'm hoping some server-savvy gurus out there will be able to point out what I'm doing wrong

I'm running Mavericks and have got Mamp and VirtualHostx installed - and between them I can see local hosts nicely.

I downloaded LC server 6.6.1 and put it in "/Applications/MAMP/cgi-bin/LiveCodeCommunityServer-6_6_1/" and added the following lines of script to the httpd.conf file at "/Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf"

Code: Select all

#dave directory
<Directory "/cgi-bin/LiveCodeCommunityServer-6_6_1/livecode-community-server">
    Options ExecCGI
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

</Directory>
#end dave directory

#dave ScriptAlias
ScriptAlias /livecode-cgi/livecode-server "/cgi-bin/LiveCodeCommunityServer-6_6_1/livecode-community-server"
#end dave ScriptAlias

#Dave's script
AddHandler livecode-script .lc
Action livecode-script /cgi-bin/LiveCodeCommunityServer-6_6_1/livecode-community-server
#end of Dave's script

When I navigate to my "myscript.lc" test file at localhost the browser gives me the file contents (as if I'm viewing the file in textedit)

Previously I was getting the following error message (when I was following this lesson blindly http://lessons.runrev.com/spaces/lesson ... th-Apache- [which is no longer up-to-date so beware]) so I guess I'm making some sort of progress:

Not Found
The requested URL /livecode-cgi/livecode-community-server
/myscript.lc was not found on this server.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? And/or suggestions of where I should go from here to get LC Server working locally?

Kind regards

Dave

Hi Dave

I had a simliar problem getting it to run on XAMPP on my PC. It looks like the problem is that the installation differs slightly on the later versions of apache.

Here is what my directory directive ended up looking like to get everything running:

<Directory “C:/xampp/livecode”>
Options All
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /livecode-cgi/livecode-community-server.exe “C:/xampp/livecode/livecode-community-server.exe”

Hopefully this will help.

Kind Regards
Simon

Thanks Simon

I tried your suggestion (or the OS X equivalent) but no joy.

Tried lots of other combinations too and this is what I currently have in my httpd.conf file (towards the end of the file):

Code: Select all

#dave directory
<Directory "/Users/dave/Sites/">
     Options Indexes MultiViews
     AllowOverride None
     Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
     AddHandler livecode-script .lc
    Action livecode-script /livecode-cgi/livecode-server
</Directory>
#end dave directory

#dave directory
<Directory "/Applications/MAMP/cgi-bin/LiveCodeCommunityServer-6_6_1">
    Options ExecCGI
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

</Directory>
#end dave directory

#dave ScriptAlias
ScriptAlias /livecode-cgi/livecode-community-server "/Applications/MAMP/cgi-bin/LiveCodeCommunityServer-6_6_1/livecode-community-server"
#end dave ScriptAlias

Any suggestions gratefully received

Hi Dave

Unfortunately not. I tried getting mamp's windows version up and running on my pc, and its refusing to load. I'll try take a look at installing in a mac tomorrow when I am back at work.
