After rebooting the server this morning, all database files are running okay but the server admin is not starting. I don't recall I needed to do anything to start server admin in the first place. But when I start it this time, it keeps "connecting...." but never complete. I looked at each tab from admin start and tried changing some configurations, that didn't make it work. I don't seem to find a log somewhere to tell what could be wrong.

What could be the problem? What can I do to get it running again? I really appreciate any help from this community.

I was wondering if anyone can enlighten me on the best setup for using FM server with an overseas office.

Currently when I have users connect in the USA to the databases the speed is very acceptable. However as soon I go over the the pond, may it be Atlantic or Pacific it comes to a screeching halt. It is no longer usable.

Can any of you tell me what would resolve this.

-Go to a company that hosts FM databases, assuming that those connections are faster?
-Better servers internally?

We will be on a mixed platform, with overseas on Windows and USA on MAC.

I appreciate the help, thanks. ]]>Fri, 23 Jul 2010 02:08:32 GMThttp://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/215767http://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/215767
On the FM server, every so many days we find an error of fmxdbc_listerner.exe has stopped in the event logs. We have a hugh number of processes that are using odbc but once this error happens everything fails. The error is not logged in the filemaker logs and filemaker support has not provided any help with this issue as well.

If anyone has any information, please provide the knowledge.

Thanks in advance. ]]>Wed, 21 Jul 2010 20:22:46 GMThttp://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/215741http://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/215741
FileMaker's KB says this: Importing/exporting directly to and from another FileMaker Pro file is not supported via a FileMaker Server scheduled script.

However; I found that if you have a .fp7 file in the documents folder and attempt to import from it, the error that came back was 212 (Invalid user account and/or password; please try again). Even though I had matching account credentials in the files with full access, as well as running the scheduled script with the same full access account.

What did work was when I modified the data source file (in the documents folder) to grant the Guest account full access, and set the file to open using the guest account [File-->File Options]. Now when I run the scheduled server-side import it works!

Obviously not the ideal from a security standpoint, but interesting to know it’s possible. ]]>Tue, 20 Jul 2010 14:40:01 GMThttp://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/215734http://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/215734Six Fried Rice.

Our IT guy is no longer here so I've had the "priveledge" of taking on all the server work myself and I'm a total newbie...

I have no problem opening up the DB through the client and our IWP works perfect. All the privileges and boxes are checked to allow PHP.

I need help and the documentation so far is terrible... ]]>Fri, 16 Jul 2010 16:16:49 GMThttp://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/215692http://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/215692
Server 11 Advanced running on Mac Mini with Snow Lepoard Server.

FMPRO Advanced 11.2 running on Windows 7 64-bit.

I have an application that constantly crashes on my win7 machine. When it crashes, the server *never* releases the license key. In fact, the only way to disconnect as a user is to go the server and restart the entire machine. "Disconnect" user doesn't work. Is there a setting I need to set in FMServer OR Snow Leopard server preferences?

Thanks. ]]>Fri, 16 Jul 2010 14:38:18 GMThttp://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/215658http://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/215658

I have done some research and seems like IWP (instant web publishing) cannot get what I want, so I wonder if CWP is the only way. I don't have any experience with CWP, and wonder if there is any othe way here... If I can install FM Pro copies in all of my users' PCs, can I somehow share my database in a way that all clients can access and use it?

Please advice. Thank you very much! ]]>Tue, 13 Jul 2010 21:04:13 GMT
