Tiger OS 10.4

I just updated to Tiger and I cannot see my filemaker server 7 anymore. My firewall is off, can't think of anything else to check :?

I ran the v3 updater and I'm good. Thanks

I am running FM Server 7 Advanced and Lasso (very new to both). Everything broke when I upgraded to Tiger. I've installed updates for Lasso and also ran the v.3 updates for FMSA and the FM web publishing engine. I had to repair permissions on the startup items folder. Now Lasso is working again and sees my website database. But I still have two problems:

1. When I view my web pages, the home page looks normal and is pulling categories out of the database, but no records are found if you try a category search. In fact, the categories disappear on the response page.

2. When I try to open my database with FM7 client "open remote", no host shows up under localhost. If I add localhost or 127.0.0.1 under favorites, no databases appear. However, if I type the path localhost/databasename/, I then have access to the database.

I am presently going in circles and would appreciate any suggestions.

I'm seeing the same thing you mention in problem #2. FileMaker 7 in Tiger does not list my databases in the remote window. I hope someone out there knows the fix for this.

Since my last post an hour ago, I ran updater Version 3 (versiontracker.com) and my remote servers work; they fly in! :grin:

Well, duh! I ran the v3 updater on FMSA but hadn't run it on FileMaker 7 (client). Once I ran THAT updater, all was well.

Does anyone use FM7 and FMP8 to access hosted databases from a non-local machine.

I currently have Server 5.5 running on a remote machine in the office (IP address=68.59.xxx.xxx). The set up is for Macs connected via a Linksys router hub (I use an iMac as a "server" dedicated machine). Everything works fine.

I installed Server version 7 on a machine connected to the network and "hosted" several FM8 files. I can "see" the hosted databases on the local address (file/open remote/ip=192.168.x.x) and this works fine.

Here's the problem, unlike FMS 5.5 when I try to use the main IP address (68.59.xxx.xxx) I cannot see any of the files!

When I leave the office and try to access the file from FM8 via the internet by adding a favorite host (IP=68.59.xxx.xxx) I cannot see any of the files.

Any suggestions why I cannot view these files outside the office; afterall that is the point of hosted files.

THANK YOU!
