LVA Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Has anyone had the experience using FileMaker Server 5 and Filemaker Pro (5 or 6) on the same machine ? Could it become problematic ? Thanks. LVA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobaltSky Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Hi, Yes - problematic is certainly one word for it. In fact, it is highly recommended that Server be run on a machine where it is the only application, so that it does not have to compete for access to the drives and I/O. There are a whole list of reasons why this is preferable, which have to do not only with performance, but also with stability and security. You might find it worthwhile to pay a visit to the techinfo section of the FMI site: http://www.filemaker.com/support/techinfo.html - and download the paper there which is listed there under the heading FileMaker Server "Best Practices". It provides a lot of useful info about this and related issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanley Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 LVA: I install FM Pro on the Server machine, but the only time it is used is when the server is down, for maintenance tasks. Otherwise, as Ray says, it's a sure-fire path to trouble. -Stanley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
