Uninstall FMS v12

[DPaquin]

Hello,

 

I do want to upgrade from Filemaker Server 12 to version 16.

At first I've wanted to uninstall v12 but cannot access to the console. 

I get screen saying "Cannot start the Consol, managing  Admin Server not available?

Does anyone have an idea of why I cannot start the FMS 12 Consol.

 

Thanks!

from the command line do:

fmsadmin restart adminserver

Then try the console again.  If it still fails then just close the files form the command line and proceed with the uninstall:

fmsadmin close

Remember to rename the leftover "filemaker server" folder in Library (macOS) or Program Files (Windowds) and reboot, before installing FMS16.  Otherwise those leftover files will get in the way.
