There is a bug (9869) in LiveCode Server confirmed by RunRev.
LiveCode Server versions 4.6.3 up to 5.0.2 have two incorrect path environment
variables on Lion and Mountain Lion. These variables are:
$_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"] and $_SERVER["PATH_INFO"].
As revIgniter is heavily dependent on path variables this means that there is no way to run revIgniter using the said OS / server versions. I reported this bug in November 2011. In September 27, 2012 I got the following response from the RunRev QCC: "your bug report has been addressed and the issue you raised is fixed. We fixed this bug in release: 5.5.3-rc-1." Unfortunately the fixed LiveCode Server version is still waiting to be released.
