This weekend I updated my Mac mini, which acts as my server, to MacOS 10.15 (Catalina). Now everything works as before the upgrade - databases are accessible via FMP and FM Go, and the Admin Console is accessible. However, I cannot access the databases via web direct either locally by opening the launch center (http://127.0.0.1/fmi/webd) or on the dedicated url. Attempting either I get an error message on the web browser about being unable to connect to the server. This obviously was caused by the OS update, but I’m not sure how exactly. I am currently running FMS 17.0.5, FMP 18, Java version is 8-231, the SSL certificate is current and working properly, and in the Admin Console, the FM WebDirect toggle is Enabled, and the WPE is running (although it doesn’t turn on automatically when the server is restarted, which is strange).
I would like to avoid having to reinstall FMS because everything else seems to be working just as before. But I’m really stumped about what to do to get Webdirect working again.
