Ouch,

Hit send to early, new try:

Hi,

I was trying to get LiveCode server up and running under MAMP in macOS Catalina 
and if anyone is interested. This is what I did to get it running.

1. Download and unpack LiveCode Server
2. Move livecode-server, drivers folder and externals folder into the cgi-bin 
folder in MAMP. ( /Applications/MAMP/cgi-bin if you have a standard 
installation )
3. Open up /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf
4. Find the <Directory “/Path/To/Your/Server/Root”> section and just before the 
</Directory> you add:
AddHandler livecode-script .lc
Action livecode-script /livecode-cgi/livecode-server
NOTE: IF your have the community server you should replace livecode-server with 
livecode-community-server
5. Just after </Directory> add a new line with:
ScriptAlias /livecode-cgi/livecode-server 
/Applications/MAMP/cgi-bin/livecode-server
Again replace livecode-server with livecode-community-server if you use the 
community version.
6. Now if you restart MAMP and add a .lc file into your web folder and tries to 
access it, you will se a prompt that says that livecode-server can’t be trusted 
with no options to allow.
7. To allow unnotarized applications under MacOS you need to right-click the 
application and select open. You will then get a prompt where you have an 
“Open” button. If you click that you will get another prompt asking for an 
admin user and password. Fill in and continue.
8. Now you finally have to repeat the procedure for every lib (i.e. every file 
in the drivers and the externals folder. But if you do them in succession you 
will probably not get the admin prompt more than once.
9. Now you should have a local web development under MAMP with livecode server 
up and running!

There is also a command line option for point 7 (and 8) above and that is to 
use:
spctl --add /Applications/MAMP/cgi-bin/livecode-server
You will get the same prompt for admin user unless you do
sudo spctl …

So, no there is no excuse for not starting to use LiveCode for your next web 
project ;)

Happy Coding!
