Alternatives to web companion

[ibookuser2]

Are there any alternatives to Web Companion for FMPro 4 on a mac out there? I'm looking for a more powerful web server that will still be able to handle FM stuff. Anyone know of a free plugin that does so?

if you are not willing to spend money, then you are not going to get anything at all. I haven't even come across anything free that will replace WC. There is always Webstar with Lasso, Custom Publishing, Server, Lasso Studio and Lasso. . . if you want something more powerful than WC well, that's not really a problem, but if you are not going to spend money to do it, you might as well give up.

Web Companion is not a general web server. It's a cgi interface specifically designed for FMPro. I think it does it's job very well.

If you want a full-featured web server, get one. Put Web Companion on port 591 and run WebStar or whatever on port 80. Or get two separate machines.

Use the right tool for the job.

OK, thats pretty much what i thought. I am already running a separate web server, so i guess i'll keep doing so. I was just wondering if there was a way to merge the two...

Thanks!

Upgrade to FM 5 Unlimited, on NT it is 7 time faster than v4 WC.

Plus is scaleable, you can run 2-6 machines as a RAIC cluster.
