LiveCode Forums

..it occurs to me that you might be trying to do a many-to-many relationship in your database: where ideally there should be one peter, and one Football, you might be trying to do something like having many Footballs for all of the people (Football/Person_id.Ben, Football/Person_id.Peter, etc) One s...

Maybe something like this:

I like this idea. But in some cases could be a problem (large stack, internet problems). Personally, I use the launcher method.... but with a local file. It's only when there is an update available (I use a MySQL table for that, in which I store a simple version number that will be compared to the ...

If you have a VPS or local office-server to use as a web/mysql/livecode server, there are some things you can do that will solve much of your requirements: ##Updates This is a big one that LC can do in conjunction with using a server, and I am surprised it is not discussed more. Basically, you can d...

never really tried Cobian - but on Windows "robocopy" is an extremely powerful cmd line tool for such tasks. For those who love cmd line tools with gazillions of parameters. Try "robocopy -?" and shudder ;-) I used it for some tasks where basic copy/ xcopy didn't work well (loooong filepaths, over ...

I wanted to chime-in here on backups: For backups for a small office/home business a basic set-up I do (and is generally the first order of business when I am setting up an office): two 2tb hard-drives (or two 4tb hard drives if you can afford them or have huge amounts of files) rsync for linux or m...

did you:
chmod +x /home/myapp/sites/api.myapp.com/cgi-bin/livecode-server

Who is the new server with? Is it shared hosting or a VPS?

Like @TorstenHolmer I have used LCS for writing API's (amongst other things) and I find it especially quick and easy to work with. This past month I have been working on a Weather Station running on a Raspberry Pi out in a field. Rather than doing much on the rpi, I am just sending the bare-bones da...

do you need separate user accounts? you said that this will be on the LAN; will all of the users only be using it on the LAN? As with everything, there are several approaches to this, but from what you described so far, my thinking is that it would be better to have one MySQL user that is for the ap...

Using a VPS from Linode, Contabo, or DigitalOcean is only $5.00/month and I can also run Apache WebServer, install Livecode Server, and use OpenVPN for a secure connection with my own Livecode API.

Would a raspberry be faster then the VPS i now run?

Most likely, with the added benefit of being an always-on local server that could be used for other various tasks or projects (plex server, file server, etc)

A raspberry pi with Ubuntu 18.04 server would make a nice little LC Server Development Box:

have you tried (just for debugging) to set the folder permissions to 777, or whatever the windows equivalent of the is (writable by everyone)

Yep. You can make your page a regular webpage unless there is something specific is posted to it. Something like: <?lc --if this is a db connection request, get it and exit put $_POST["INSTRUCTION"] into t_instruction if t_instruction is not empty then include "connect/dbconnect.lc" quit else --if t...

Although I have since switched to using Unity rather than KDE, I had a functioning solution, which was when working with LC to have a separate desktop for working with Livecode and only Livecode. In fact, I seem to recall that KDE allows you to name your desktops so I had development, office, etc.
