A few threads have danced around this, but my situation may be a bit different: I have a brand-new G4/533 (384MB, OS9.1) on which I have set up a likewise new FMP5 server app. Even without any databases running, the server will crash 1-2 times a day as long as the FMP Server app is running. With databases open, the same 1-2 (sometimes more) crashes. I have gone to an OS9.1 base set of extensions; I have tried adding RAM (up to 200; that seemed to help for a while, but now the crashes have returned); I have turned VM off and set Energy Saver to "never;" I have run Norton and TTP, optimized and so on. I have even dragged out the dead chickens and waved 'em over the dang thing. In desperation, I even did a PRAM zap and reinstalled the OS. But no matter what I do, I can't get rid of this crash. I am out of clues on this.
Our network is 100Base-T; client load is low (almost always fewer than 4 users--but that doesn't really matter since the crash occurs even without clients connected). Most FMP Server settings are default.
Is it my imagination, or do I detect a (sniff, sniff) wisp of a consensus (as opposed to a full consensus) that OS9.1 ain't all that happy with FMP Server?
