I'm running Server 5.5 on OSX Server.

I needed to make security changes on a file I have on the server. So I closed the file, opened it with a FM6 client, and made the changes, then closed the client. When I went to reopen the file on the server, it shows already open (grayed out). However, it isn't. On Remote Admin, it doesn't show in the files list, and it also doesn't come up when I click the "Open Files" button.

So it isn't open, and it isn't closed. Basically I can't get at it at all.

Any ideas?

I don't need the file today, but I have to have it running by tomorrow.

John:

Have you tried to stop serving the databases? Not quitting Server Config, because that doesn't actually stop service, in my understanding, but clicking on the "stop serving" or whatever the button is? It sounds to me like you've run into a strange issue, perhaps because you had FMP and FMS running on the same machine at the same time, which I have always taken to be a no-no.
