We need to have FileMaker server installed on the c drive of our server and the databases located on the d drive. We have done this many times by simply putting a short cut to the database folder in the server folder. It has worked for years.

Now the problem is is doesn't seem to work with server 8

Any suggestions.

You need to set the D drive directory in the Server Admin Tool. Remember to end the path with a slash/

Where in the Admin tool do I set that?

Thanks

log on to your FMS server with the SAT tool, right-click on the server entry and choose "properties" to bring up the tabbed config dialog. Choose "default folders", check "use additional database folder" and point it to the D drive (use the FM syntax, not the Windows Syntax, it needs to be "filewin:/d:/").
