In our case we had to have two routers. One from the ISP whey they do not provide with WIFI ability. I had to creae an IF..THEN statement that determined if the user was on the local network (192.168,1.x) or remote which was a 10.10.x.x address. Once that was done it worked.

I have a windows 7 box running Filemaker Server 13 and Supercontainer 2.896. I followed the instructions for installing SC with FM 13 and all works well both locally and remotely. However when I switch to WebDirect connection the web objects display the image correctly but the SCSetContainer command to display images in a portal only shows a red question mark. I have a modem setup that does not allow resolving our fixed IP address from within the LAN so there is a conditional statement to determine if the user is a local user or a remote user. While this works fine for fmnet connections either set URL option results in the same red question mark on a container that uses SCSetContainer. Plugins and Server a the same version and this worked well in v12 of FM server. Any ideas?? David

I found some time ago that when viewing a web object on a local network vs remotely the url had to be different such as this. NOT REAL NUMBERS.... Local = "h ttp://192.168.1.25:8020/SuperContainer............." Remote = "h ttp://122.432.1.84:8020/SuperContainer........." So after determining if the client was on the local network or accessing remotely the web viewer used a conditional if statement like If(Local=_true;use local url ; use remote url) ---- and this worked fine for displaying a web viewer object either being viewed locally or remotely. Now we have been forced to a new ISP using a local cable company and I am having problems setting the base URL. We have two modems. The first is the cable modem with an address like: 12.1.14.4. It has no wireless services so we have the second modem. Everything coming to that modem forwards to a wireless modem that all local users connect to to obtain an IP address. It also has a fixed IP to allow external access. So it has an address like 191.1.212.94 for accessing remotely. Up until this switch over setting the base url was always... Set Variable($abc;Value:SCSetBaseUrl("htp://191.1.212.94:8020/SuperContainer/Files........ (In other words the fixed IP address) Now that fails and I must use Set Variable($abc;Value:SCSetBaseUrl("htp://12.1.14.4:8020/SuperContainer/Files........ which is the cable modem address or Set Variable($abc;Value:SCSetBaseUrl("htp://192.168.1.25:8020/SuperContainer/Files........ which is the internal local server address. So again I need a conditional if for setting this value. Is this a problem for SuperContainer being behind two bridged modems? Is there a problem seeing the internet fixed IP address internally when it is easily seen remotely? Is there another approach I should be using for setting the Base URL? I don't expect anyone to solve a network setup problem here. I just need to know if it is SuperContainer or the network that is a problem. David

Any body hear if this is a display problem or a thumbnail generation problem?

I am not sure Supercontainer is ready for FM13. The only way I can get it to run on FM13 server is to run as a separate app. When trying to run the installer I get the following error message: Could not locate JK mount config file at C:Program FilesFilemakerFilemaker ServerAdminadmin-helperWEB-INFconfuriworkermap.properties It's right. That file does not exist in Filemaker 13 server installation. Has anybody been able to run the installer to work with FM 13 Server? David

This seems to be a common problem and is worse in thumbnails displayed by supercontainer. It does not appear to be much of a problem unless the original is reduced by it being displayed as a smaller size.

We will be upgrading to FM Server 13 next week. I assume the installer will need to be run again once FM 12 is removed and FM 13S is installed. Has this been tested yet? Are there anythings to watch for? Currently using Java45 which is what FM 13S recommends so there seems to be no problem there. David

Is there a way to prevent Supercontainer from creating thumbnails? The thumbnails created have a horrible blue cast with streaks down the page. I would rather wait for the original.  This is part of a document where a preview of 305x543 has been created.   Â

I would check the function call itself. If you have passed a null parameter for the container, included a semi colon but no item, used a path with a control character etc. If others using the same files can do the upload without a problem then I have no helpful ideas.... David

I had to replace a PC running windows 7 and Filemaker Server 12 Advanced. The new dell would not install a 32 bit version of Windows 7 without huge driver problems. Re-install of all software went find after installing Windows 7. Once I installed Java(32bit) and tried to view a set of images remotely a problem occurred where I set the base URL. The routine returned an error saying it could not locate the proper location. I removed the 32 bit version of Java and installed the 64bit version and the problem was solved. Now I attempt to run Filemaker Pro on that server and I get an immediate error from Filemaker saying that at least Java 1.5 needs to be installed before use. Does this mean I have to have both the 64bit and 32bit versions of Java on the same PC/Server? Some Supercontainer calls such as Scan Directory only work with local directories so I need to use Filemaker Pro on that same PC running as a server to scan the directory. ?? David

Two things come to mind. One is there are two locations for the XML file and as I understand it both need to be changed. Second, In my history I have had to previously mount/connect to the server before the custom location could be used. I don't believe you could add the different server user and password in the url. That could be a serious security problem, Here is a typical path to the one that I always forget. (Windows 7) "C:Program FilesFileMakerFileMaker ServerWeb Publishingpublishing-enginecwpe-tomcatbinSuperContainerWEB-INFweb.xml"

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.

Not where I can check right now but I just read there is an update Version 4.203 and Version 4.2 indicating compatibility with update 25

Something in update 25 broke Scriptmaster on Filemaker Pro Advanced 11. Filemaker Pro 11 has no problem. Just trying to start Filemaker Pro 11 advanced crashes with a java exception and log. Only removing the plugin from the extensions folder solves the problem. I don't know the difference between Pro and Advanced Pro but that is what happens. Tried on a Mac and it crashes. Tried on a PC and it will not load???

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

I am using the installer exe file but then when the server restarts (due to updates or power outage) SuperContainer does not start. I must then open a remote desktop connection and double click on the .jar file. The odd thing is I get a message that it is already running but it is not as far as Filemaker Server Advanced is concerned. Any user logging in to FM gets an error message when the startup script sets the default path and tests for operation. Only starting the .jar file manually fixes the problem. I went as far as removing FM Server Advanced and reinstalling and then using the exe file to install SuperContainer and it still does not work. (does not restart with the whole pc/server restarting)

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. I could put the server .jar file in the startup items folder but it seems there should be a better way?? David

After updating to Java 7 on my macintosh I began to get crashes when launching or quitting Filemaker. Looking at the crash log I always saw this message Current thread (000000001746c800): JavaThread "Thread-1" daemon [_thread_in_native, id=-1401656792, stack(00000000bf800000,00000000c0000000)] Stack: [00000000bf800000,00000000c0000000] Java Threads: ( => current thread ) 00000000171a8c00 JavaThread "Timer-0" daemon [_thread_blocked, id=-1335799808, stack(00000000b0515000,00000000b0615000)] =>000000001746c800 JavaThread "Thread-1" daemon [_thread_in_native, id=-1401656792, stack(00000000bf800000,00000000c0000000)] 00000000249adc00 JavaThread "Low Memory Detector" daemon [_thread_blocked, id=-1300983808, stack(00000000b2649000,00000000b2749000)] 00000000249acc00 JavaThread "C1 CompilerThread0" daemon [_thread_blocked, id=-1302040576, stack(00000000b2547000,00000000b2647000)] 00000000249abc00 JavaThread "Signal Dispatcher" daemon [_thread_blocked, id=-1303097344, stack(00000000b2445000,00000000b2545000)] 00000000249aac00 JavaThread "Surrogate Locker Thread (Concurrent GC)" daemon [_thread_blocked, id=-1304154112, stack(00000000b2343000,00000000b2443000)] 0000000017464800 JavaThread "Finalizer" daemon [_thread_blocked, id=-1305210880, stack(00000000b2241000,00000000b2341000)] 0000000017463800 JavaThread "Reference Handler" daemon [_thread_blocked, id=-1306267648, stack(00000000b213f000,00000000b223f000)] Other Threads: 0000000017460c00 VMThread [stack: 00000000b203d000,00000000b213d000] [id=-1307324416] 00000000249af400 WatcherThread [stack: 00000000b274b000,00000000b284b000] [id=-1299927040] I removed the Java installation and the crashing continues.

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.

Thanks but there are 46,000 image in the All Scans folder. I have no problem viewing or uploading files. Just deleting. All ports are correct, Base URL works because the upload works. It appears that SC has been designed to allow upload, download and display using the file path method but not delete? Anybody at 360 reading this forum?

More information. I can create a web object that correctly displays the image and shows the Delete button. Clicking the Delete button causes the same 500 error. I have checked the permissions from the root of the C drive down to the enclosing folder and everyone has permission. I am not understanding how the file can be uploaded and displayed but cannot be deleted. All messages indicate the enclosing folder "does not exist"

This simple path and file name uploads as it should. /All Scans/32118-Registration.jpg The same folder name/path for the SCDelete /All Scans/32118-Registration.jpg Returns an Error 500

I completely mis-read the plugin directions. Five minutes on the phone with Obinna and he straightened me out.... Thanks

If you get this to work let me know. I have been asking for a fix for this for a long time. It does not work on windows 7. You can get everything from a server error to no error but no upload. There was some talk of a fix but it is sure long in coming....

Still waiting for a fix for this problem. Running windows 7 it appears impossible to specify a different upload location (even after setting the server and base url) and then upload a file. Are the ANY work arounds for this problem??
