FMS14 on macOS Sierra: Test web server (http://127.0.0.1:80/fmi-test/test.xml): Connection refused

macOS Sierra Version 10.12.5

trying to install FileMaker Server 14 with Web Server & PHP. I need web publishing enabled. I checked PHP and Yes, install the FileMaker server version of PHP.

I get this error. Test web server (http://127.0.0.1:80/fmi-test/test.xml): Connection refused

I have no idea where to start troubleshooting. I read through https://fmhelp.filemaker.com/docs/14/en/fms14_getting_started.pdf and nothing helped.

Please help. Its appreciated.

My experience with installing older FileMaker with current OS is that it does not work as expected.

However if you are able to install Mavericks as an example on your hardware, then install older Filemaker this will work, and if you upgrade to current OS, it will usuall keep on working.

 

At least that's what I do for Filemaker 11 Pro Advanced.

1) Install Mavericks

2) Install FileMaker 11 Pro Advanced

3) Upgrade OS to lastest version

 

This may or may not work for your FM 14 S as well

I installed FileMaker Server 15 without issue.

Thanks all.
