Andrew - Any luck. I am having the exact same issue, including the catalina.startup.bootstrap thing.

Actually, please don't waste your time. I can't afford the time or money on Filemaker anymore. I will learn and deploy a mysql php solution. Loyal filemaker customer since FM6. Out.

Hi Wim, Thanks for your kind reply. What I want to do is to continue a system that had been working beautifully for years. I had a one machine set up, I used apple OS X server to set up various things like virtual hosts, email, etc, and used FMS11 for php based websites that I used to collect research data and to build course websites. I recently upgraded my machine to El Capitan, installed the newest version of OS X server, and FMS15. After installing the OS X server all my websites were accessible as they had been. When I installed FMS15, it apparently swipes ports 80 & 443. I read somewhere where I could use alternate port names, but this isn't work. I also read that it might work with a 2 machine set-up. I know that is more secure a set-up so I didn't mind getting another machine. I installed FMS15 as a worker on the machine with OS X server, and as the master on the new box, using alternative ports. This seemed to do the trick. The php pages were loading, though none of the connectivity with the databases via php files was working. FMPro client access to the databases was working and the admin console indicated that the install was good. When I run the php test from the FMS admin console on the Master, it returns the correct display of the sample data on a php page, listing the worker IP address in the URL. To mess with the connectivity I tried changing the connection.php files, using the IP of the worker, the IP of the master, the alternate ports, the 80/443 ports, and could get no love. I assumed this had to do with the fact that the FMStudio solutions I had been running didn't work with the new FM API. That's what prompted me to look into RESTfm. In the attached file the results are from a test of RESTfm run from the Master machine localhost:[port#]/ So, I guess I really don't know anything. I don't know how to install RESTfm. It seems like it needs to be installed on the machine where the PHP files live, but in the two machine FMS installation that machine doesn't have all the stuff RESTfm needs, but neither does the Master machine. If you could give me a simple overview of what goes where in a 2 machine set-up, I'd be indebted. RESTfm report_Redacted.pdf

So, after a lot of futzing around here's where I stand. I got a second mac-mini. And I did a two machine deployment of FMS15, using ports 8055/8056. This solved the original problem - namely, installing FMS15 this way did not mess up web access to the site files over ports 80/443. I have tried to install RESTfm to help simplify the development of my php pages, but it seems to be confused by the two machine set-up. Can I set up the second machine with a single machine FMS15 deployment, just as I would if I was using a third-party FMS provider?

Buckie, Thanks. This is an interesting idea. I may not even have to do that. I could just use the alternate ports in the php connection file. However, the last time I installed FMS 15 I set ports other than 80/443 and it still messed up my ability to connect to my virtual host webpages. I install server app set everything up including the virtual hosts. Check access to my pages. Everything is fine. Install FMS 15 with ports 8001 and 8011, and nothing works, I get a requested page not found error. When I type just the basic domain names for the machine or the virtual hosts I get the filemaker server splash screen.

Every time I upgrade FM I lose functionality. This time, it seems that FM15 Server does not play nice with OS X Server 5. I have the latest versions of each. OS X is finding my virtual hosts just fine but installing FM15 Server breaks that. All virtual hosts display the FILEMAKER DATABASE splash screen. I read a long post about this problem relating to 13/15. Any new insights or workarounds for 15? Thanks

Hi there, Old timer here, still using FM server adv 11 and the FMStudio Pro API for 11, DWCS5. I can creating working php pages using the basic filemaker connection option, but I can't get the filemaker with table based connection option to work. When I built the connection, it tests out file. But when I go to access the php page on the server, I get a 500 error and saying something about resource not found. Is there something in the tools or lib files that needs to be treated to get this to work? Thanks. jim

Ah. I see. Thank you.

Thanks to you all. Bruce - I was unaware that the adj_t calculation would be performed only once. I assumed that the first one would deal with "," delimited text and the second would deal with ";" semi-colon delimited text. That is not a big problem. We are comfortable in our abilities to conver the target text into a list of words. To the anonymous commentator - Not sure how to describe the task more clearly. I have text samples that I am converting into a long list of words, CR-separated, in a single FM text field. I wish to check the occurrence of each word in this target text list against a standardized library of words. The current library contains about 4500 words (these comprise about 80 different libraries) about 75% of the words are entered like accept*, for accepted, accepting, and acceptable; or happy* for happier, happiest, and happiness (happy appears on the list as its own entry). I can solve the problem with brute force by simply adding all the words that are currently being captured by the single stem with the wildcard. But that's like 3500 stems that need to be addressed. An automated solution would be preferable. Thanks for the link too. David - I was thinking along those lines as well. I do not have a lot of experience with writing custom functions, and even less with working with lists. As I note above, I have total confidence that my libraries are constructed to avoid omission of matches; that is the list contains happy as its own word and happi* to cover the others. If you happen to have an example of a function that reads evaluates and operates on list items, I am pretty sure I can use patterncount to do the job. Thanks to all.

I have buit the following calculation to compare free text with a library of key words, and count the occurrence of the library words in the free text. This works great, but....... The library lists for some words are stems, like "happi" to capture "happier" and "happiness". The solution below works fine for exact matches between target text words and whole(non stem) library words. Is there a way I can capture the partial stem matches, either within the framework I have or in some other way. Text samples will run up to 1,000 words, and libraries may have as many as 500 words. Let([ t = text1 ; r = search_library::sad ; adj_t = Substitute ( t ; ", " ; ¶ ) ; adj_t = Substitute ( t ; "; " ; ¶ ) ; adj_r = List ( r ) ]; ValueCount ( FilterValues ( adj_t ; adj_r ) ) )

I am trying to echo a filemaker text field into a php page. Inside the text field are additional php echo commands that I want to use to customize the presented text for the current user. The echo of the large text field works, but the echo commands that are inserted in the larger text field are presented literally and not executed. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

I have recently installed FM Server 11 adv. When I type my ip address into a browser a screen appears with information about my install for all the world to see. How do I hide that?

Thanks Steven. 16004, 16006, 16008, 16010, and 16014 are not open. I use a one-machine system so some of these may not be needed. Can you tell me what processes in the activity monitor are required for the admin console to work?

I am getting this on my mac server (osx 7) lion server. Can't get it locally or remotely. Any solutions out there?

Is there a way yet to edit scripts in a text editor?
