Re: Email Issue or Domain Issue?

You do not have an MX record set up for your domain. It looks like you have GoDaddy set up as your DNS server, so you need to go into there and point your MX records to wherever the email server is. https://www.godaddy.com/help/add-an-mx-record-19234 The email server is what you set up when you adde...

Re: Create Shortcut to Internet Web Page

I am running linux ( Ubuntu 20.04). It works for me. It asks where I want to save it and for a file-name and then it creates the html file. My linux machine defaults to opening HTML documents with the default browser, so firefox opens when I click on the saved html file. If I remember correctly, Win...

Re: Create Shortcut to Internet Web Page

Why not just create an html page with a redirect to your link ( link.html ) with the content something like: <html> <head> <title>redirects to link after 1 second</title> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1; URL=http://livecode.digio.space/"> <meta name="keywords" content="automatic redirection"> ...

Re: LC Server (Indy)

Bummer. On my ubuntu servers (which I have set up a few), here is what I do to get livecode-server working (this may or may not be helpful): put the 64-bit livecode-server into /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ folder then make it executable: sudo chmod a+x /usr/lib/cgi-bin/livecode-server then enable the mods: sud...

Re: LC Server (Indy)

I do not have to make my scripts executable on my Ubuntu server running apache and livecode server, but several of the Mac OS tutorials I ran across on running a CGI script of various types all said they do that. Not sure why

Re: LC Server (Indy)

Just glancing through some online info about apache on OS X, some tutorials are saying to put your scripts into the cgi folder, and make them exectuable. So your index.lc file would go into /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables then you would (from command): cd /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables sudo c...

Re: LC Server (Indy)

Just to get a better picture of what is going on, can you explain how you set up Apache? Was it already installed? Did you do any sort of custom configurations? I am familiar with Apache but not on Catalina. From what I have read, the default location to place CGI programs for the Mac apache install...

Re: Can we create a Windows service with Livecode?

Running an application as a service (or daemon in linux) has some advantages, for example: It is running for all users rather than just the user you are logged in as when you manually start an application It can auto-start at boot rather than having to have a particular user logged in (preferable fo...

Re: A stack on the web which accepts parameters

Is your ftp server and your web server (runing livecode server) the same creature? If so, it might be unnecessary to use ftp, instead just creating the file in the location on the server where you want it. If they are two different servers, an approach could be to write a bash script and run the bas...

Re: Cannot Search Forum Bug

Usually when I am searching through the forums I do not even bother using the forum search-bar; It hardly ever returns what I want to see. Instead, I go to google.com and in the search bar type: site:https://forums.livecode.com/ keyword1 keyword2 etc. I find using this method with google to search t...

Re: The Perfect Server [SOLVED]

Do you own the domain lcservertest.com and have it pointed at your VPS? You cannot just make up a domain and have it work. What happens when you go to the IP address of your server? Also, when you put your website folder in your home directory rather than the default /var/www folder, you will also n...

Re: The Perfect Server [SOLVED]

Basically, you need to do the following: put the livecode-server binary in /usr/lib/cgi-bin along with the folder it has in the zip file (when you download it) make it executable: sudo chmod a+x /usr/lib/cgi-bin/livecode-server (or sudo chmod a+x /usr/lib/cgi-bin/livecode-community-server ) in your ...
