Hi all,

THE PROBLEM

I am publishing two databases with Server 7 Advanced. One is the

"FMServer_Sample_Config.fp7" database that comes with FMP and the other

is a simple database that I created. Both of these databases are being

served up by FMP 7 Server and can be accessed using remote copies of FMP

7. However, neither database is accessible via the Web using FMP 7

Server Advanced. Both databases can be published via Instant Web

Publishing (individually) by using FMP 7, but not by using FMP 7 Server

Advanced.

WHAT I'VE TRIED

I've tried turning on Network Sharing and Web Sharing for the individual

database files and that doesn't seem to have any effect. I've also

successfully registered the Web Publishing Engine with Server 7 Advanced

and it's IP address does indeed appear in the FileMaker Server Admin

application's Configure pane in the Clients tab. So it seems like

everything is set up correctly, but the databases aren't being shared

over the web.

MY CONFIG

I'm running in the single computer configuration (one computer that's

running FMP 7 Server and FMP 7 Server Advanced Web Publishing Engine on

the same computer). The computer is a G4 system running MacOS X 10.3.5.

I'm using Personal Web Sharing as the web server.

ANY SUGGESTIONS

Any suggestions from you experts out there would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Scott

Hi Scott,

In "Define Account Privileges" make sure you have an Extended privilege called [fmiwp] (access via Instant Web Publishing) and that it has at least one privilege set access on!

By the way are you able to configure the Web engine console? If not check that you have FMP 7 Server Version 70v1a, it's an updater that fixes connection if you upgraded from FMP 7 Server to FMP 7 Server Advanced

HTH,

Bench

My problem is similar to this, I can actually see my databases, and can try and log into them, however, none of the passwords work for me in IWP, it works fine if I connect to it using Lasso, and if I open it remotly from FM, however, IWP won't work, it seems as if my passwords aren't working right. I have it set up to use the passwords from the actuall databases, but its not working. Anyone else had this problem?

Thank you! You were right! I had to turn on IWP access for the file and then it worked! Awesome. Thank you again!

sometimes the IWP web access will die for no apparent reasons. The database is sill online and can be access by a filemaker client.

In cases like this just restart to 2 web publishing services.

Restarting the web publishing engine using the web config doesn't work.

When in doubt restart fileserver and filemaker web publishing.
