doughemi Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I am trying to install FMS 14.0.4 update to my local development FMS 14.0.2 system. I have closed all databases and turned off FileMaker Server 14 in the admin console. When I run the updater, I get a dialog "This update cannot be installed while FileMaker Server is still running. Please stop FileMaker Server and try again." What else do I need to turn off to install the update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Whitelaw Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Strange one. What I would try (off the top of my head) is turn on FMS, then turn off the "automatically restart FMS after power failure" (or whatever it is . . . Not at a computer) then close all hosted files, turn off FMS then restart the machine. Then run the installer again. My 2 cents, Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wim Decorte Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 turning off the components in the admin console does not stop the underlying FMS daemon. Try: sudo launchctl stop com.filemaker.fms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doughemi Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Thanks, Wim, that got me over THAT hurdle. After that, the updater started and hung up. I ended up downloading and reinstalling FMS 14, and I'm back in action. I wonder if the problem with the hangup was due to my FDS Subscriber key?

Wim Decorte Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I doubt it. There have been many reported problems with updating from v1/v2 to v4 and uninstalling and then installing the full version of v4 seems to be the easiest way of getting there.
