FMPro and OSX

[paul]

Does anyone know if on OSX (not OSX server) you can install web connector and run FMPro unlimted, Apache web server and Web connector all on the same box.

Many thanks in anticipation

Right now No, FMP 5 Unlimited WSC will NOT install on OS X (10.0.x).

You will have to wait for FMP Unlimited 5.5, which is scheduled to be released this fall.

When that does come out I'm not sure if you'll be able to run all three components (Apache, WSC, FMP 5.5) on the same box.

But even if you can, you probably don't want to, unless you've got a very fast Mac and/or you expect very low web traffic.

Setting up a (at least one) machine for each task is ideal.

One box for Apache (with the web server connector - mod_fmwsc.so) and one for hosting the databases (FMP 5.5 Unlim).

** Actually to do it all on one machine you'll be better off just use the "Built-in" Web Sharing with FMP 5.5 Unlimited (just like in the FMP 5.5 Demo).
