LiveCode Forums

Gotcha. Makes perfect sense. What I was wondering was would it (even) be possible to have the code in the web page have a 'send to handler in me in five minutes' so it would effectively do its own cleanup? How would that sit in this launch/run/die scenario? Cron is very likely the best option for th...

Good call, definitely my fallback if I can't find a LiveCode specific method. I'm rather interested to know how that might be approached in a server environment with the script embedded in a web page!

I have a site where images can be uploaded for exif data editing. The edited image is then downloaded by the user, but this leaves the images to build up on the server. Any suggestions for how I should automate a regular cleanup? Is 'send' a viable candidate for this, when it's all executed from cod...

Hi Richard,

Thanks! I've just read through some of this and it is *definitely* going to help!

Wow. [grins widely]

I have LC set up on one of my servers and I've managed to get myself into first gear (as it were) with very basic operations: returning HTML with logic-based content, and driving exiftool using shell(). But I'm still struggling to understand the core concepts and differences between LC running on re...

Is there a way to select which lens is used when shooting on an iPhone with multiple front lenses?

Reviving an old(ish) thread:

THANKS for this! I'm sorry I didn't say this before.

One more question: any suggestions for how I should try to get this working for Windows users as well?

I'm refreshing my memory of LC tricks, which often means reminding myself of things by using examples from the LC Dictionary. The code samples provided there are very helpful... except when they don't work as expected – or at all. This is from the cameraControlCreate entry: cameraControlCreate "myFi...

For a while I was still getting the same old error. In the end, after browsing the htaccess section of askapache.com, I put ".cgi" at the end of the livecode-server name and tweaked the htaccess reference – and it's working! Curious that you don't have to do that, but I am delighted to have found th...

EDIT: I have found the answer! What I wrote originally (below) is not correct. Read the subsequent posts for the solution. Mod_alias is available but I was in a support chat today and this was what I was told – after he went through a few things to check. Perhaps things that need more than _alias p...

Very helpful, both of you. Thanks! Time for some more pondering and testing...

EDIT: I have found the answer! What I wrote originally (below) is not correct. Read the subsequent posts for the solution. After trying this for a while and chatting with Dreamhost's support team (who are always helpful) it turns out that running LiveCode Server as CGI is NOT possible in a shared s...

EDIT for posterity: it IS possible to run LC Server in Dreamhost shared server space. See the link to a different thread in Richard’s post below. --- Figured out the problem. Unfortunately it's NOT possible on Dreamhost's shared servers. Three Apache modules are required for livecode-server to run ...

Most of the posts seem to focus on the problems inherent in setting it up, which may be why we see so few actually programming it. I think you hit the nail on the head. I've asked for help from LC Towers, but no joy yet. I use shared hosting at Dreamhost and I'm happy with this; I'm hoping not to h...
