I can resolve filemaker 11 web publishing deployment issues on any windows server including win server 2012/2016. Please feel free to contact me.

Yay! This is resolved. Thanks a ton Kwin for the resolution. Interested people can directly contact Kwin to get the resolution. Pravin S

Great news! We are waiting eagerly to get the solution for this problem. Pravin S

Thanks for providing detailed explanation. We tried every possible step to fix the issue, but every time we ended up in scratching our heads. Have you seen any setup where FMS 11 web publishing is working perfectly fine on windows server 2012? Pravin S

Hi Mike, I have re-deployed WF webpublishing multiple times on same machine but it still didn't work. The WPE is working perfectly fine as it shows a green check under below snapshot. I have also made sure the compatibility settings for all filemaker server components exes are setup correctly. Pravin S

Hi Mike, I got a weird response. Attaching same. The first line says "This program cannot be run in DOS mode.". I made sure that all the required ports are open on FM server. Your thoughts on this? Pravin S fmresultset.xml

Hi Mike, The FM web publishing is running successfully as all the components under FMS admin console are checked as green. I am trying to open fmi-test from IIS which is throwing below error. The PHP connection to the FMServer_Sample database failed. The PHP test was not able to communicate with the Web Publishing Engine. Make sure you have PHP publishing enabled and the database has the fmphp extended privilege enabled. (Error 22; Unknown error) How can I directly test web publishing without going through PHP?

Hi Wim, I respect your opinion, but it is not a single machine which can be downgraded. We have so many clients having win server 2012 R2 and we cannot ask all of them to downgrade their OS. This is the reason why we are spending time to figure out a solution for this situation. I have seen FM web publishing working on so many 64 bit OS, I can't accept the fact that it doesn't work on win server 2012 R2. There is some component on win server 2012 R2 which is blocking or not allowing fmwpc.exe to communicate with FM DB. I tried to print the error from $impl_data variable of phptest.php file. This is what it returned.

Hi Wim, Thanks for your response. The filemaker hosting works perfectly fine Windows Server 2012 R2. Its just the FM web publishing part which is not working. Does this mean that the FM web publishing is the only piece which is not supported on Windows Server 2012 R2? Thanks, Pravin S

Hi Wim, We are facing the same issue since more than three weeks. We have tried out every possible step to fix it, but no luck. We are trying to deploy PHP web publishing on Windows server 2012 R2 machine. We have checked the deployment part along with PHP installation multiple times. Everything is in place for PHP web publishing to work without any issue, but still, while viewing fmi-test from IIS throws below error. The PHP connection to the FMServer_Sample database failed. The PHP test was not able to communicate with the Web Publishing Engine. Make sure you have PHP publishing enabled and the database has the fmphp extended privilege enabled. (Error 22; Unknown error) Adding few snapshots for reference. In your post, you mentioned that FM12 is not supported on Windows Server 2012 R2. However, the link says that FM server 11 is also not supported on Windows server 2012. Does this mean, we don't have any work around to enable PHP web publishing on Windows Server 2012 R2? It is not possible for us to get a new box/machine at the moment. Can you please help us to address this situation? We have already setup everything on our Windows Server 2012 R2 box, now only PHP webpublishing part is holding us down. Your help is deeply appreciated. Thanks, Pravin S
