Dev 7 - Can't Start Web Publishing

I've been playing around with Dev 7 for the past couple of weeks and thought I'd start futzing with instant web publishing, yet when I try to start web publishing for a simple DB I have open, I get the following error...

"Filemaker cannot share files over the web because Instant Web Publishing could not be started"

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Is this feature available in Dev 7? The help file refers to the feature but I can't seem to find an explanation to the error anywhere.

Thanks!

Oh boy... looks like you can chalk this one up to my being an idiot. I didn't have Filemaker TCP/IP network sharing turned on. Actually, I did, but it wasn't working because it was conflicting with the copy of Dev v6 that I had open at the same time. Once I quite out of Dev v6, I was able to re-enable the network sharing and then enable Instant Web Publishing.

Sorry for wasting people's time.
