FMS not working after dragging folder from another drive.

Hi,

 

     Last week I got the dreaded "disk failing" warning on my 2011 Mac mini. I immediately copied all the files on the drive to an external drive. The entire disk. I also had a Time Machine backup from a few weeks ago. After adding some RAM and replacing the drive I did a Time Machine restore. Of course the FileMaker Server folder in the Library wasn't ever being backed up with TM. Neither was the Applications folder. All good since I still had the files on another drive, no? Well, no. I copied the FileMaker Server folder back to the Library and restarted. No FMS. Nothing in Activity Monitor as well. Granted there are a few more things I should do like repair permissions on the new drive, but I suspect I'm missing something here. The contents of the FMS folder are identical to what they were before. Any clues?

thanks,

rick.

Thanks Wim,

Of course I tried reinstalling 13 but couldn't get it happening. The 14 installation hung as well but I got some amazing phone support from FMI (he was as mystified as me).
