What jacque was referring to is a different animal. An executable set up as a cgi, that (if I recall correctly has a startup script and that after script completion, exits) The lc server itself runs in cgi mode (as apposed to as a module I believe) and unless you're using the earliest version (you're not) can access and use stacks "out of the box."
A very simple example: My lcserver script.. <?lc start using stack "teststack.livecode" put "<pre>" & the script of stack "teststack" & "</pre>" randomize ?> Starts using a very very simple stack. Shows the script of that stack. executes the command "randomize" that is in the stack. You can see it work here: http://guidezone.info/stackuse.lc You can of course also "go" to a stack.
