SuperContainer by 360 Works

I'm struggling with getting a simple database with SC working on an FM hosted server so I thought I would start at square one and try to understand the basics with setting up SC as a stand alone application on my home computer. Question 1 (SC Server Files Directory): When I run the SCserver.jar, the server starts, and I get an option button to change a) Port, b ) Files Directory, c) Register my license, and d) add optional security settings. My logic tells me that whatever I put in the Files Directory will determine the root path of where my documents will be stored when I drag and drop documents into my SC web viewer. Is this a logical thought? And I presume it also …

We've been using SuperContainer on multiple computers and operating systems, but after updating SuperContainer on our server to the current version (2.89), no one seems to be able to drag-and-drop files and photos to SuperContainer WebViewers. Also the WebViewers now look different: they have buttons for Browse and Upload, and upon attempting to drag-and-drop a file, an error displays: "Message from webpage: Drag-and-drop uploads are not supported on this computer. Use the upload form instead." Our server is Filemaker Server 12, updated with SuperContainer 2.89 and Java 7 Update 25. One example user has Filemaker 12 Advanced, Windows 8, SuperContainer 2.89, …

Many times when uploading files (using the plug-in not the web object) it returns and error of -1. It appears to complete the task of uploading so what is this error reporting? This is on Windows 7 and using the latest SC updates within Filemaker.

We use FileMaker 11 and the latest versions of SuperContainer, and 360Works Email plugin. On and before Fri, April 19, when we sent attachments, the recipient received an email with attachments with the filenames of the files we sent. On and after Mon April 22, everything looks normal in the database, but the recipient receives files named the primary key of the attachment record. For instance, instead of two attachments, one called PhotosOfFlowers and BillForFlowers, the recipient might receive two attachments, one called 23423 and one called 23424. In a script to send emails, we call the External Functions "EmailAttachFile" and "EmailSend". We don't think a…

Just upgraded an OSXserver from 10.6 to 10.8 and upgraded FMS from 10 to 12, updated java etc, All went smooth except SC installation (v2.89) where I got an error I had never seen before: 1: Error: Could not find or load main class com.prosc.supercontainer.installer.SCInstaller Any suggestions how to solve this? TIA Peter

I have used SC for images and webpublishing for a long time, and it works GREAT!! I use fms 12 on a macmini. We have now started to only have electronic documents for incoming invoices as pdf files, it also works great. But now we also want to organize our contracts and other text documents and when I insert xls files into my document database, in supercontainer, i got some problems where I could need some tips from you. When viewed on a layout with a webviewer and the url is containing a supercontainer url with RawData the xls files is downloaded to my desktop. How can I avoid this? Looking forward to hear from you.

I've got a baffling problem after updating to latest version of Supercontainer. Basically, in a webviewer in a Filemaker client, supercontainer works fine, but via IWP (which has been working for years), nothing appears - just an empty field where either the document (if there is one) or the upload controls should be (if there isn't yet a document). Different browsers, computers, OSes - all exhibit same behaviour. A different file hosted on same server works perfectly normally. Any ideas? James Reed

Hi, We're using Supercontainer, and we'd like to restrict uploads to PDF's only. Is there a way to do that with SuperContainer? I saw the "filetype" parameter, but that's just for directories/files, not file types really. Is this possible to do? Thanks, Tom

I think it used to be that a web viewer pointed to a URL like: http://myserver/SuperContainer/RawData/FolderName/6932 would display the contents of a PDF? Now it will display image files normally but not the contents of a PDF. If the file is a PDF, its just blank. How can the contents of a PDF be displayed on screen?

While I greatly appreciate the improvements and bug fixes on upgrades, if you are using the installer to "Upgrade" an installation with Filemaker Pro Adv. it does not remember the file path. It diverts to the default path for images. Since I have modified the path to a different location for images it is a real PIA to edit the .xml files to redo the location. Please consider having the installer read the new path first and then restore it. David

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious, but this was previously working fine, and somehow now when I'm using the plugin to import to a container field (Filemaker 11), I'm getting the filename prefaced with "filename=". Â See attached, left is webviewer, then after using SCGetContainer, right is the container field (internal). Â Any ideas? Â James Reed

SCGetContainer is not previewing the first page of the pdf. Its just showing the icon. It works with graphic files just fine. This used to work.

We are looking for a filemaker iwp solution or example file that import files to a container field using a web browser. Supercontainer seems to work but it never does.

Any opinions on loading files to web and storing link as alternative to container files?

Hello, Experiencing a strange behavior. We had to emergency switch our SuperContainer Server. Everything seems to be working as expected except the function SCSetBaseURL is sending back an Error message for one person. OS: Mountain Lion FM Version: 10 We installed the latest version of SuperContainer. It is successfully serving (and transforming) our images. It is also uploading fine through the browser.

Hello, I have just bought the standard license for SuperContainer. I have installed it on my remote filemaker server (clicked the installer.jar) and registered it....so far so good. What I find a bit alarming is that I can go to http://myserver.com/SuperContainer/Files/my/custom/file/path in a browser (not via FM) and upload, download, delete anything and everything, no authentication required! I can create and delete directories/files in SuperContainer this way - as could anyone else from a browser by merely knowing the above URL. I understand the idea of using SSL and long random directory names so jo public can't access particular files. But this is different.…

We can get the SC Companion to auto-download from FMServer11 to a PC user running Windows 7 / Java 1.7.0_11 However, it is not enabled. We cannot enable it. We already re-installed both FM11 and Java on the user's machine. Still cannot enable the Companion plugin. Has anyone had this experience? Any thoughts? Chris

I have a client where all of the computers except for one are using SC with no issues. The one computer having a problem was working fine and then stopped working one day. This was when the SSL certificate used on the domain expired. The certificate has been reset and it was not stored in the keychain on the problem computer. Other computers with the same OS and browser and version of FileMaker are working. If I open a browser and try to go to example.com::8020/SuperContainer/ it times out after spinning for a while. After checking Java and the certificate in keychain, I'm not sure what else to do to get this computer to work again. ADDED NOTE: If I run …

Any recommendations for storing photos on an external server? We're using WorldCloud to host a FMS 11 database with SC and while we get 20 GB of space included, we have over 10GB of SC-stored files and we're bursting at the seams. Buying more space on the FM server doesn't seem economical at $5 a gig per month versus $0.10 at Amazon, but I don't know if SC can successfully connect to an AWS server. Any out there using cheap cloud storage for SuperContainer files?

Hello, I'm just deploying SC in a mixed network of Macs and Windows PCs and I'm having problems with the PCs. The Macs work OK but in the PCs I get a block and warning when I try to load a layout with SC stating that it could not verify the identity of the publisher. The PCs have Windows7 HP SP1 64bit with JRE 7u11 x64 and FileMaker 12v3 and FileMaker Server 12 running in a Windows Server 2007 SP2 64bit with SC 2.864.

We have a layout with 7 supercontainer fields. The first tab has 2 fields. The second tab has 5 fields. However, 2 of the 5 fields on the second tab is a repeat from the first tab. All the fields are in HTML mode (noapplet).

I would like to allow an IWP user to specify a document and simultaneously upload it to the SC server and attach it to an email message. SCChooseFile apparently won't allow this with scripting in IWP, and doesn't show a file chooser dialog, though it works fine in the FM client. The SC documentation makes reference to invoking a Java file dialog instead of the native, but I haven't found the correct syntax to use the key+value pair that is referenced, nor do I know if that would solve my problem. Any help out there?

I have uninstalled and then reinstalled supercontainer on a PC running windows 7 professional and Filemaker Server Advanced 11. I have done this twice once with Filemaker Server running and one without it running. When the computer restarts, Supercontainer does not restart.

Using the plugin, SCLastError to get a "readable" error code just gives me an error number. I am getting error 412 when trying to move a file using SCMove, but since I can't find what 412 is, I don't know how to fix it. Is there a list somewhere? I have looked on the Wiki, the plugin documentation, etc., etc.

Im have Supercontainer solution working on Windows FileMaker Client. When I use my Mac with OSX 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion) the Web Viewer field is showing error "Missing Plug-in" The plugin is in right place and I have tried various plugin versions with no luck. Im using FileMaker 11 version and also FileMaker 11 advanced.

I need some assistance. I have a FM12 solution that uses Supercontainer to store an image that is related to a record. When i generate a list of records, the SC may or may not pull the image in from the web. I have created a script to cycle through the records one at a time, with a pause and a step to reload the webviewer by name. I then get to the end of the loop, the script goes to preview mode. sometimes the list of records has the images, sometimes it does not. When i choose save as pdf, it may generate the pdf with images, or, it may not, or filemaker simply crashes. i have tried using the separation model, direct calls, all to no avail. I have t…

The folder structure for my SC deployment has a logical need to be human readable. This leads to folders like "AAA_BBB_CCC_D" where the AAA is the Term Code that a course is offered, BBB is the Subject Code (i.e. ENGR), CCC is the Course Number (i.e. 101) and D is the Section Number. Inside that folder are folders for single course documents followed by a UUID (i.e. Syllabus-7A50235B-976C-4BE2-8721-FA7891CECBEA ) and inside those folders are revision histories for each file. Â In trying to idiot proof the solution as much as possible I can foresee a time when someone will upload a file, make multiple revisions to the file, and then notice that the wrong Section Number …

Recently when we uploaded a PDF file to our server, we noticed that supercontainer suddenly stopped working. It gave a libImageResize error and it stopped the hole server. (see attachments)  This has never happend before for any file that we have uploaded. When we restarted the server and tried again the same problem occured. Only with this specified file.  The jave server this machines uses is: 1.6.0_22 (Mac OSx server 10.6.5) Â

I'm using a script to test installed plug-in versions using the FM12 call "Get (InstalledFMPlugins)" It seems that SuperContainer Companion does not report its version number so that it can be easily compared to see if a new version should be installed. Under my script, a new version is always installed, even if it's not needed. Very annoying. Gary

Hello, So I had help setting up SuperContainer on a Mac FM Server. If you go to (example) http://address.domain.com/SuperContainer/ it seems like anyone can access that. However, when you go to the specified file, whether in FileMaker or in a browser it cannot reach it outside the network. (The port I am using is 8080, and 8020 does not seem to work better.) http://address.domain.com:8080/SuperContainer/File/Folder/filename.pdf Do you know if it would be a problem where I am saving these files or something else? I'm not sure I understanding how this works. I need other people from IWP in a webviewer to upload a file into FileMaker from anyone/anywhere w…

This is the first time I've used SC with Instant Web Publishing so I hope I'm just missing something. I have a simple list view in FileMaker 11 with a SC web portal. When I enable IWP for this file, everything looks and operates just fine on the screen. However, when I try to print, none of the images from the SC web portal display. All of the FileMaker data is there, just no images. Any suggestions? SC is running under Tomcat in FMServer on a Windows 2008 Server. Chris

After recent updates, SC is not longer working. In IWP if give the error... "The layout is not supported for instant web publishing because it does not use the Classic theme." This is a new error and SC was working prior to a series of updates. We believe Mac OS, Filemaker Server 12 Advance, and Java were all updated in the last one to two weeks. Current configuration: Mac OS 10.8.2 Java 1.7 Filemaker 12 Server Advanced 12.0.3.327 Any ideas where to begin trouble shooting?? Thanks!

We are experiencing frequent lockups with Version 2.864 when importing new files. This is when running FileMaker 11 v3 under Windows 7 We are running server of the same version and running the server on IIS on Windows Server 2008 R2 Our Mac's have been Stable although the bulk of the work is done on Windows Machines. View Documents doesn't create issues. It is always when importing new files.

I have used option 2 to install SC with Filemaker 11 Advanced. When the server restarts SC does not load/start and people get a message when their start scripts attempt to set the base URL. I have to login using a RDC and click on the .jar file. This is for Windows 7.

Hello everyone, Is there a way of restricting users' access so they can upload documents but not download them? We want to prevent users from downloading documents out of the office environment. Alternatively, is it possible to restrict access to a SuperContainer Web Viewer based on the users' IP address? I'm thinking of trying to set up an IF statement that stops the SuperContainer from working if a user's IP address is not equal to the office IP address. Please note that users will be accessing the FileMaker database using IWP. Many thanks in advance! Stuart

Is it possible to export from an externally stored FM12 container to Supercontainer using SCSetContainer? In my tests I just get a file exported called 'Remote File:Image.jpg' with no content.

If I bring up the record in the base table, the image shows correctly. Please see the attached file. Thanks in advance for insight on this issue. John  Â

Because the security capabilities of SC alone are far under what my application requires by law, I need something that will allow me to completely block access to all SC folders/URLs, no matter what, unless users login to each folder (URL) individually, preferably synced w/ LDAP, or at least blocked based on access to each database. I do plan on using UUIDs, but that doesn't prevent access via URL in general. I don't wan't people uploading various junk files simply because they understand how SC works. I have read that running Tomcat as the primary web server can do this, but I also see in the SC documentation the following: "Option 3: Installing SuperContainer w…

I was wondering if anyone had given this a go I am trying to get the data from the file via running the script on the server. I have installed the plugin on the server and using remotescriptor plugin. does not seem to work with these.

I have a web page that allows users to upload files using normal HTTP upload. The PHP page to process the upload uses PHP's standard move_uploaded_file() function to get the user's file into a known directory, called "docsTemp" on this system. That works. My script then calls the the upload method of SC's PHP class to move the file into the SC directory. That SC step fails with error 404 (not found). The goal is to move the file from docsTemp to a nested folder inside the SC folder. The script specifies a section/subsection folder structure. SC, when used through FM web viewer, will create folders as specified by the web viewer URL. So the folder I would expect my PH…

I developed a SuperContainer solution on a test server where SC ran in the standalone mode. All worked great. It's time to launch it on a live, production server, which has SC installed using the Tomcat method. The system is not behaving the same, nor the way I would expect.  Normally, SuperContainer places uploaded files into a Files folder within the SC directory. On the new, production server I am able to upload with both the SC plugin and the upload button in the SC web viewer. But for me the uploaded files are going into folders the top level of the SC directory. These folders, created by SC, are at the same level as Files. To initially create the Files folde…

I'm a newbie at this, so my question might be silly. I have been trying for hours to get the demo for Supercontainer to work on my computer (no network here). I can get it to run, but unable to access it properly with FM pro 11 webviewer. Instructions seem simple, but could it be that you must have FM Pro server and I only have Advanced? If I put this in my webviewer "http://127.0.0.1:8020/SuperContainer/" I see the server, but I end up with uploading the same file for all my records. Instructions stipulate I must have this: "http://127.0.0.1:8020/SuperContainer/Files/" but I get error 404 ''resource not available'' I tried moving it elsewh…

Hello, We had a supercontainer license version we were using with our Filemaker 11 solution hosting the SC at the FM server. The files were stored in a specific format like http://IP_address/SuperContainer/Files/xyz/1/Docs/ But, after we migrated to a new server and also simultaneously migrated the supercontainer files in the same directory structure to the new server and applied the new paths but the old files could not be viewed. Instead we were shown a page with 404 error described below. We again upgraded ourselves to a ENTERPRISE version and installed in the same server and this is what we observed when we set the path to view for the existing files. …

I have a database with a corrupt field. When I try to recover the database (using FileMaker 12v2 or v3 on Windows 7, tried this on several computers) it doesn't see the database as corrupt when the SuperContainer plug-in is installed. When i uncheck the plugin and recover it does see the corruption. Am surprised that a plug-in could affect the FileMaker's ability to see corruption!? Not urgent as I recovered the database, just something to watch out for.. (If 360 responds I can email you a clone of this database)

I have Windows servers running 2008 R2 and have tried to update from SC 2.863 to 2.864 using the standard WindowsInstaller.exe. On both servers I get the error You must run this application using the Mac Installer application, not by double-clicking on the installer.jar I am double clicking the .exe. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? And fixed it! Will uninstalling completely and installing using the WindowsInstaller.exe work - I am loathe to try this 'on the off chance' as my dev server is actually used for the odd demo.

Anyone see this behavior and how to fix? Latest version of Supercontainer is running on Filemaker Advanced 10 server. Client is Filemaker Pro 11.

I just recently transitioned a single machine deployment (windows) into a multiple machine deployment (databases on windows, WPE and web server on Mac). Does SC have to be installed on the WPE machine, or can it stay on the database server? All the files are located on the original single-deployment machine. Everytime I try to connect now, I get a prompt to set the SuperContainer Base URL, and I presume that is because the WPE/Tomcat are no longer active on that machine. Is that correct? What is my best option for getting SC to run in this multiple machine deployment?

The documentation for the SuperContainer PHP class says there is a method to download files: $localPath = $sc->download('uploads/12345', '/tmp'); How does one use this? Is it the action of a form from a submit button? A link? Are there any code examples beyond that one line example in the documentation? I'm building a full doc management solution in PHP using SC. People can click or right-click on the SC <iframe> or <img> to do the download, but a lot of people won't know that. A button to invoke the $sc->download() function would be better. Also, how does one specify the desktop as destination in cross-platform manner? Use a block like if…

Hello - Our small business uses Filemaker Pro 11 with SuperContainer 2.831 . Filemaker Server Pro 11 is deployed and SuperContainer resides there on that same Windows server. SuperContainer is essential to our business and with the sweating of bullets today - after several unexpected surprises - when I updated my Windows 7 workstation to run Java 7 Update 9, I'd like to ask the following questions. I'll mention that I finally got SuperContainer to work again on the workstation, but the solution for that was complex; and, I will have the same problem in future Java updates starting with or after Java 7 Update 9 . The servers are under the control of someon…

I'm looking to use the Scriptmaster function "RotateImage" on a PNG file I currently have stored on a server and managed with SuperContainer. I have the RotateImage function registered in my startup script, and everything is running smoothy with SuperContainer. Is there a way to pass the HTTP location from SuperContainer to the input variable "imgLocation" for the RotateImage function? With the following: RotateImage ( "http://[serverAddress]/SuperContainer/Files/[AssetID]/PNG/[filename.png]" ; 90 ; "" ) ... I'm getting the error: "javax.imagio.IIOException: Can't get input stream from URL!" I also tried using the "RawData" path but got the same err…

Hello, I'm currently working on a solution where the customer wants to save a copy of a faxed document that is appended with confirmation data. This wouldn't be a huge deal if they just wanted the first page, but they want every page to include confirmation data. I was originally planning on using the SCGetinfo ( <document> ; "pagecount" ) feature that is built into SuperContainers to get the number of page of the fax. Then I was going to script a loop through the pages of the PDF, set a web viewer using SCRawData and set a URL that contained "#page=$myVariable" and then print a copy of the layout with the confirmation data and image of the web viewer to…

I am messing around with the demo version of super container. I seem to have it working ok, but in the demo on the website it shows a delete button below the image. Mine does not have this? How do I go about removing this image and uploading a new one?

Hi folks, trying to find any reference to 'noise' or 'noisy' in the SuperContainer Forums with no success, hence this post: -- Does anyone know how to combat this noise in the thumbnail files...? It only occurs at specific pixel sizings... that is, make it a few pixels bigger or smaller, and they go away - so something to do with the rendering/downsampling process... and, you guessed it, at the size most images appear on our web catalogue, a noticeable number appear like this. I'm working off Mac Mini Lion Server, so using the Core Image Previews - and this file was a PDF, originally out of Illustrator. Happy to provide any/all specs on request. Pre-em…

Hello, your wiki says: SuperContainer for hosting providers You can run SuperContainer version 1.72 or later for your clients in Tomcat by following these steps: Each client will need to purchase a separate license of SuperContainer, or you may purchase a license for them. Modify SuperContainer/WEB-INF/web.xml file and put in valid values for the 'activationCode' and 'registeredTo' settings for your client. Change the name of the SuperContainer folder to that client's name and put it into the webapps folder. The URL will become whatever you name the folder, so if you change the folder name from 'SuperContainer' to 'ClientX', the URL to access SuperCont…

Hello everyone. I have just noticed that if I point my browser to https://.../SuperContainer/ I can access the page below. SuperContainer version 2.25 To view the documentation, go to http://www.360works....umentation.html. Purchase a license or access the online documentation at http://www.360works.com/supercontainer. Enter or edit your activation key on the SuperContainer Registration Page. Start uploading files at Files/my/custom/file/path and even worst I can enter or edit the activation key. How can I protect the access to those pages? I tried to set the following parameters <param-…

I'm using 360 Works Supercontainer. On a PC the pictures will not display in preview mode. Unable to print Id badges. Works great on a Mac. Any answers?

I am trying to use the SuperContainer PHP API. It was working before, but is no longer. I am getting error 505. The message is "The requested URL returned error: 505". This same file and server used to work. What does 505 mean? Is there a list of the SC error codes anywhere? Are the codes for the API the same or congruent with the codes for the plugin,. Permissions? Destination folder is owned by regular Mac account on OX Server 10.6, with Read and Write. Group is wheel, read only. Gary

I have used the SCSetContainer command to create a file in a specific folder from a container with a jpeg image. The command returns a "1" which says no error occurred. However viewing the server log it says "You can't upload files to this location" . All permissions are correct and the progress bar appears that something is uploaded however it is not. The message from the server is a little to sparse to figure out....

hi, i have a hosted file (FMS11) with container fields and I've been using SCSetContainer to upload them to Supercontainer. everything was working fine until two days ago. if i run the script from a Windows machine (with the latest version of the plug-in) i get the error : "The specified action was denied by the server" upon running SCSetContainer if i run from a Mac (NOT the latest version of the plug-in) it works perfectly. any thoughts? thanks for your help. angie

Am upgrading to SuperContainer 2.864 and the 2.864 plugin however am running into an issue on my test server. Downloading works fine however when uploading it names the file as the last folder and loses the extension (.pdf in my case). Am using the same script that I have used with 2.82 (that has been used to upload thousands of documents) The script is basically like this: Set Variable[$whatever; Value: SCSetBaseURL( “http://myservername/SuperContainer/Files/” ) ] Set Variable[$selectedfile; Value: SCChooseFile( "" )] Set Variable [ $plugSet; Value: SCSetContainer( “/PATIENT/0/82/82831?”; $selectedfile ) ] So in this case it named the document 8283…

The goal is to move a SC document into a global container field. I call this and get no error: SetField(Documents_Dashboard::result;SCSetBaseURL ("http://192.168.1.1:8020/SuperContainer/Files/";"UserName";"Password") I call this: SetField(Documents_Dashboard::result;SCSetBaseURL ("http://192.168.1.1:8020/SuperContainer/Files/";"UserName";"Password") SetField(Documents_Dashboard::gContainer;SCGetContainer( Documents_Detail::_cResourceIdentifierWithRevisionNumber ) Error: Invalid credentials! The username and/or password passed to the SCSetBaseURL function are incorrect. Thanks for any suggestions, -Jeff

Title says it all. It seems to be working for me but need to make sure it works on 60 computers that are also moving to FileMaker 12 (currently on 11). Is there a release history page?

Is the current version of SuperContainer (2.864) compatible with OS Lion and FM Server 11 and FM Client 11.04? The user, after upgrading to Lion, is being asked to enter the SC user and password every time even though they check the box to add Keychain. -Jeff

I recently added a computer to my Linksys router, the older computer is the one running my FM Server 11ADV with Supercontainer. I can access the supercontainer functions remotely from my database (upload, download) but it seems the previous URL I was using to view documents via a url link is messed up by adding another computer. Previously, the users could access thier documents via this link http://72.130.136.2/SuperContainer/RawData/11901 Now they have to access it using this link http://192.168.1.114/SuperContainer/RawData/11901 Is it a router issuer?

Hi all, We've been using SuperContainer daily for 6+ months in a large IWP project very successfully, and this week after updating FM Server 11 Advanced to v3 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation, and also updating SuperContainer server and plugins to 2.864, I am finding that SuperContainer server no longer retains my "Files Directory" setting under the Options button. After a server restart or otherwise relaunching SuperContainer server, the Files Directory resets to the default setting of C:UsersSuperContainerFiles, and of course everything stops working. (Simply stopping and starting SuperContainer server does not exhibit the problem.) Anyone else seeing this…

Hi, i have some troubles with my super container. I got a java runtime error message if i open my filemaker database via IWP in internet explorer 9. Java is activated in the setting of IE9. Does anybody know the problem? If i open the database in firefox i have no problems. I have to say that i have 10 web viewer windows for each dataset (totaly 101 datasets) which connecting to the supercontainer plugin. I hope anybody can help me Bye username2010

since the latest update (yesterday) i noticed that on PC's i am seeing the JAVA logo display more often before it renders the pdf image.

Is it possible to watch a quicktime movie that has been uploaded by SuperContainer, either inside of the web viewer or in a calculated container field? If so, how? Thanks.

Hello all ... I am running version 2.863. Have a solution where folks can upload files from a web page. For some reason, I have a few folks that cannot get this to work from their stations. It is not specific to browser or platform. The function connection to the SC server works properly, but $sc->getError() returns "The requested URL returned error: 400" after performing the upload function. I myself cannot duplicate this problem from any of my own computers, and have tried several at my physical location as well as some remote computers. Thanks so much for any help on this. Darren

Hello everyone, I've recently installed SuperContainer on my FileMaker Server and got it up and running perfectly. The only problem is that you can access the files if you manually type the URL into the web browser address bar. I know I could set a username and password for SuperContainer to stop people from doing this but I'd rather not as SuperContainer is being used across various databases. Is there a way of making sure people can solely access their files via the database? My server is running Windows 7 Professional with IIS 7.5. Any help is much appreciated! Stuart By the way I'm running SuperContainer through SSL.

I like to run SuperContainer on port 80. The Mac runs FileMaker 12 advanced and MountainLion. I am unable to get SC serving through port 80. Starting SuperContainerServer.jar brings error message: "Protocol handler initialization failed: java.net.BindException: Permission denied:80" I followed the instruction in the documentation. Did this change in Mountain Lion Apache2 httpd.conf ? Quote start: Now, add the following two lines to the httpd.conf file after the appropriate "DocumentRoot" as shown below: DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/Documents" ProxyPass "/SuperContainer" "http://localhost:802...SuperContainer" ProxyPassReverse "/Sup…

If I specify style=noscroll, then the image fills the web viewer, and I can't scoll down to click the hidden "delete" button I tried to specify ?style=noscroll+height=100 , to make the image smaller, but this fails As a work around, I probably could add a scripted Trash Icon, to delete the image Is there any way to specify noscroll AND height ? greg

I tried testing SC standalone server on Mountain Lion. Error message when attempting the start app: "... cannot open SuperContainerServer.jar, because the developer is unidentified..." Any help would be great.

Hello, I have the problem that the ListView-Function under iOS iPad... is not fast enough for a good scrolling. In my solution I have about 20...50 Resources to scroll and the user must wait for updating the screen, and when scrolling forward and then back not all Thumbnails are showing. I try with smaller icons in the web viewer, but the performance is bad; we use FM-Server under MacOSx-Server. Is there another way to be faster with SC. I wood like to use the listing with "portalContainer" - it works very good in lists under MacOS, but without plugin no way!? Perhaps I have to store a little thumbnail in a fix container-field for the iPad-Layout.…

This function is intended for use with exporting the contents of a SuperContainer file to a container field in Filemaker.This is the main reason for us to buy a SuperContainer license and it doesn't work in the demo, reports error 500. Can You help? Regards Jorge Marques
