I have not found a solution, sorry.

Via webdirect. Usually, when a server is behind a firewall and the public can't access it but one has a public facing web server you can do a reverse proxy. This way you can give the public access to a website that's behind the firewall.

from above, "I have a domain name pointing to the IIS server and want the url to stay the same and have it load a specified database from FMPS." Currently, it does a redirect to FMPS but the address changes in the address bar. I would like the url to stay at the original domain that only loads a specific database.

I've never tried to do this before so this is the first time. I'm trying to do a reverse proxy because from what I've read that's what is required to achieve this. Is there a better way? What about just pointing the domain to the FMP Server and setting up another site in addition to the FMWebSite? I'm not sure how this is best achieved seeing that it's not pointing to a directory on the server but a database path. Filemaker is rather strict about supporting machines that have anything else installed other than FMPS plus I'm trying to do this from our main web server so I'm trying to avoid adding unnecessary components.

I have 2 servers running Windows Server, one is running FMP Server 16 and the other IIS 8.5 I'm trying to set up a reverse proxy from the IIS server to our FMP server but am getting errors. Nothing I've tried is working. Has anyone been able to get this to work? I have a domain name pointing to the IIS server and want the url to stay the same and have it load a specified database from FMPS. These are the two errors I'm getting depending on how I have web.config configured. "502 - Web server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy server." "Failed to load the bootstrap javascript: ./../VAADIN/vaadinBootstrap.js?v=7.7.9.fmi" What specific rule do I need to use in web.config? Both servers have ssl certs. Thanks!

I had the same problem and fixed it this way: 1. download: http://support.apple.com/downloads/DL1360/en_US/JavaForMacOSX10.6.dmg 2. use the software Pacifist to open the pkg that you download above. 3. right-click on "Contents of JavaForMacOSX10.6.pkg" within the Pacifist window and select, "Install to default location". 4. select "replace" within every dialog that you see. 5. reboot if you try to run the installer the usual way it'll fail telling you that newer software is already installed. I did this on a server that we use for testing FMP databases. Please make sure you know what you're doing if you do this on a production system.

does anyone have a script that they can share that gracefully shuts down all filemaker databases and then checks to make sure they are all closed and then reboots the server? we're running fmp server 10 on a mac xserve. i know this can be done with fmsadmin but it would ideally require some error checking, etc. and i'd suspect that someone already has created one that possibly could be shared. we find that we need to reboot the server about once a month or we have problems with databases and i'd like to schedule this as an automated process versus having to do it manually. thanks!
