DB File recognition.

I've installed FM server and have transferred my working files to the server's directory however I'm being given the following error when attempting to access any of the DB files via a browser "HTTP Error 405 - Method not allowed!".

I've also noticed that, unlike FM Pro, the server version doesnt appear to automatically recognise the file type FP5 and rather than associate this with the file type "FileMaker Pro Database" it leaves it as an unknown file type i.e. with the generic windows icon and I suspect that this is the underlying problem.

Im using FM Pro 6, FM Server 5.5 and Windows NT Server.

Any advice on how to go about rectifying this would be much appreciated.

The file type association stuff is not your problem.

FM Server shares files to FMP clients, not to web browsers. You need FMP or FMP Unlimited to share databases through web browsers (FMP is limited to 10 web users in a 24 hour period, FMP Unlimited isn't).
