Here is a script I use. A lot of this stuff won't make sense because it is part of my interface with sqlYoga, but the core is a repeat loop where I open a socket to the server, then check if the socket is among the lines of the openSockets. If it is I exit the repeat loop and close the socket,

One thing you might do if you were to decide to stick with apache would be to make sure you use either the worker mpm or events mpm (sounds like events would be the one you wanted for this) (read more on this page... https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/misc/perf-tuning.html ) to get better

Thank you, Richard A given transaction involves processing a user request, making two or three requests to the database, and returning around 500 kB to the user. I certainly don’t need to load fonts in the LC process. Can that be turned off? I like the idea of maintaining a queue of running LC

Re: IDE Cursor icon often hangs on windows

This has been happening for years, it just may be more frequent now. I've had a handler in my private backscript for probably 10 years that does "unlock cursor" when I type "uc" in the message box. There's no consistent recipe. My best guess is that it happens when the cursor is moving so fast

Thanks Devin, that’s a great explanation - my program, which is just a one stack-one card helper app, did start off with a red background. Later I changed the card background (remember, there’s only one card) but forgot about the stack background since it didn’t show. So there you have it. We

Re: Background color in an 'answer' dialog?

Graham, I think what is happening is that when you run in the IDE the parent stack of the answer dialog stack is the LiveCode engine, which sets a platform-appropriate background color (or no background color) for all child stacks. When you include it in a standalone, your
