IWP Could not start

[ASUEducation]

Hi,

I'm new to the forums, and relatively new to File Maker Pro. I made a couple of databases and didn't have problems hosting it on one computer, but now I have moved to another Mac (running on OS X) and the databases were giving me an "unknown error of 802" in IE when I tried to access them. I tried working in Netscape and it was fine, but since FM doesn't really "support" Netscape, I downloaded Safari and when I tried going back to FM, the files were saying that IWP could not start, and sometimes saying that the computer was already hosting the file. Even when I close everything up and restart, it's giving me the same problem. What's going on? Thanks for any advice!

Use this very useful log:

tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log

If you want to restart IWP

sudo SystemStarter restart "FileMaker Web Publishing"

Change "restart" for "start" or for "stop", if you need.

Regards

Might you elaborate? I too am unable to get IWP to start. I've set the port and then get an error (Win XP) and the program is killed.

I am having this same exact problem and Ive tried restarting the computer and restarting the service as you stated.
