Hi Bob, I keep the latest LC Server version in my Desktop. I also have a LC_SERVER folder, in which I put the old LC Server as soon as I download a new version. So, when a new LC Server version is released, I do the following:
1. Download latest LC Server on Desktop 2. Right-click on livecode-server executable and check the "Executable" permission 3. sudo nano '/etc/apache2/apache2.conf' 4. Change the existing paths to point to the LC Server you downloaded in step 1 Here are the changes I do to the file: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: <Directory /var/www/> Options FollowSymLinks Multiviews MultiviewsMatch Any AllowOverride None # Order allow,deny # allow from all Require all granted AddHandler lcscript .lc Action lcscript /livecode-cgi/livecode-server </Directory> <Directory "/home/panos/Desktop/LiveCodeServer-9_0_0_dp_7-Linux-x86_64"> Options ExecCGI # Order allow,deny # Allow from all # Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Require all granted # Options all # AllowOverride All # Require all granted </Directory> ScriptAlias /livecode-cgi/ /home/panos/Desktop/LiveCodeServer-9_0_0_dp_7-Linux-x86_64/ 5. sudo apache2ctl restart 6. Type in Firefox: localhost/test.lc 7. In case of an error, the error log is in /var/log/apache2/error.log Note that the "test.lc" file is located in /var/www/html/, and it contains the following code: <html><head><title>LiveCode Server Test</title></head><body> <?lc put "Hello from " & the version ?> </body><html> Best, Panos -- On Mon, Jun 19, 2017 at 5:52 PM, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Ubuntu on a local server running under ESX1 5.1.
