When you want to do web publishing with FMP 5-6, using Server to host the files, you need to set up Filemaker unlimited as a client to Filemaker server, and then you connect to the web companion of the Filemaker unlimited machine from your web server. With Filemaker 7 there is no more Filemaker Unlimited, instead you use Filemaker Server Advanced to web publish Filemaker data.

You should be able to test this on a "non-served" Filemaker file.

To test your solution - start the database locally

Use 'localhost' and '591' as your http and port addresses.

Make sure your copy of Filemaker is set to port 591.

Also, one for the FAQ - make sure that in FX.php you change the filemaker versions to 5/6.

I struggled for several hours before realizing that FX.php was set up for FM7.
