LiveCode Forums.

Nope. Just ain't gonna happen with LiveCode.

Bummer.

Oh well.

5 out of 5 can't do's with LiveCode.

Installing IIS 5.1 for WinXP.

IIS 6 is for platforms other then WinXp - Not for individual download - part of another OS.
IIS 7 is the same as IIS 6. Not for WinXP.

- IIS 7 - vista + longhorn
- IIS 6 - w2k3 + xp pro x64 bit
- IIS 5.1 - xp pro
- IIS 5 - w2k + w2kpro

IIS 5.1 installed but all kinds of rediculous security issues.
Finally setup a password for Administrator accout
- - -log off current user - then ctrl alt del - UserID: Administrator - PassWord: (blank) - Control Panel - Users - Administrator Account - Setup Password
and have to use it each and every time I try to access http://LocalHost or by IPAddress i.e. http://192.168.x.x

No matter what browser I use - may be updated security settings require login no matter what - even if allow anonymous access is ticked on everywhere.

Will test on android next

With Allow Annonymous logon - TICKED ON

I can login on the first try 0 - no prob

Then on the next browse to local host I don't get a login screen and it just errors out.

I then turn off the allow anon (with Integrated windows authentication ALWAYS ticked ON)
and all browser work ok
- asks for UID & PW on first browse
then on second browse to localhost it no longer asks for UID & PW - just displays my local host properly.

whew!

Hi all,

Does anyone have the MySQL DB from Summer Academy Week 5?

I've setup my own IIS server here at home and want to test the Week 5 MySQL Example.livecode against it.

Tring to get the IIS LocalHost to show web page on mobile emulator.
Testing emulator would not work.

suggestion to use http://10.0.2.2 - which is supposed to point to the emulators host computer.
LocalHost is the emulator not the PC the emulator is running on

Ticked the Allow Anonymous Access back on - and it works in the emulator - grrrrr

192.168.x.x works as well in the emulator

----

Back to physical phone - nope
Must not have some sort of access to IIS

friggin nighmare!

How to set required NTFS permissions and user rights for an IIS 5.0, IIS 5.1, or IIS 6.0 Web server

I really don't feel this helped anyting at all.
Don't spend an hour on trying to sort this out until you've setup IIS following the next post.
Refresh the Defaul Web Site - test - if it still doesn't work then go ahead and try this knowledge base article.

I am using OS: XP pro 32bit & IIS V5.1.

ALSO NOTE: with Computer Manager - my updates were NOT taking affect until I execute a Refresh... on default web site
I'm pretty sure a Refresh is to stop IIS then restart IIS. Be patient.

What thuh !

OK working now!

From physical phone.

Using defaul browser on Android or FireFox.

192.168.x.xx

Whewh!

freakin 9 hours.

Ok, taking the flippant hat off, you could use the remote device to post to the intranet server running a server side processor (revCGI, php, etc) and have that do the actual db updates and put data back out to the device for display.

IIS 5.1 installed

Can't get LiveCode to recognize SQLite on IIS localhost
Could have a look at mySQL - don't have the interest any more
Should ask Valentina.


now perhaps:
Install Windows, Apache, MySQL, and PHP on IIS 5.1

If you want a simple-yet-powerful WAMP environment, without a registry footprint, that "just works" you could do worse than try http://www.uniformserver.com/

I use it a lot for development. I've never put IIS on any of my development machines, I don't shy from it for work but these days much less work comes from IIS than from clients with an Apache/MySQL/PHP setup/requirement. I expect you will find it a lot easier to configure, and there are lots of resources generally.

SQLite is a "textfile" based db, and you should be able to access it via a filepath, rather than a url. Not a very robust solution though. (I have used SQLite over a network connection in a "proof-of-concept" scenario before clients commit to sourcing a "proper" multiuser relational db, with workable results. There was no need for a "web" server to host the db in this case though, just a shared file location.)

How do yo setup as just a shared file location on Android?
Hoping I can access it with LiveCode.

Of course! I never tried from an Android client. I wonder if File Expert from xageek (which can navigate SMB shares) can be employed here?
When I get a chance I will have a try (may not be for a while). Mind you, as mentioned, an SQLite db over a network is not ideal anyway.

Shared file access doen't work via LiveCode for Android.
Please don't waste your time.
If you find an article which tells us how to set it up step-by-step.
Please feel free to send it to me.

Otherwise don't bother.

As soon as I find a solution I'll post it here.

OK. Its a wonder when you have a decent sleep what you can think of:
Both work on the PC.

But not on Android.

Testing RealStudio Web (Trial).

First trial without DB - runs on Android via FireFox for Android Browser.
