BaseElements Plugin not loading on FMS WebDirect 16 for Mac

Featured Replies

Help! I have spent days trying to get the BaseElements plugin to load.

My setup is Mac with FMS16 and BaseElements 3.3.7. I have setup a small test database which populates a field using a simple function (BE_Version).

I have put the plugin in the two folders:

/Library/FileMaker Server/Database Server/Extensions

/Library/FileMaker Server/Web Publishing/publishing-engine/cwpc/Plugins

The first folder seems to be OK but the plugin for WebDirect is not working.

One issue is that the permissions might be incorrect but all derivatives that I try seem to fail:

chmod g+wrx /Library/FileMaker Server/Web Publishing/publishing-engine/cwpc/Plugins/BaseElements.fmplugin

Each time I try something different, I close the databases and restart the server. I have even reinstalled FileMaker Server.

Does anyone have any ideas?  ...thanks in advance :)
