IWP not working-Database not available

Netforest
in FileMaker Server v7 - v11

Featured Replies

I installed FSA8 on a mac mini. My installation was similar to two previous installations without any problems. After the install on the mac mini, and configuring for one machine, when I try to open fmserver_sample in IWP I get the error: "database not available". I can open the database in filemaker with "Open Remote".

Any suggestions on what I might have missed? I turned on IWP for the database and checked all users.

Did you configure the Web Publishing Engine for IWP?

Did you set up a Passcode and identifier for WPE in the SAT Tool and do they match the values entered in the WPE Configuration console?

You are sure that the database server is actually hosting the file?

The fmiwp bit is set to on in Extended Privileges in the file?

And finally, and I hate to ask, you are sure that you have the Advanced version of Server. Check the summary page in the SAT Tool to be sure that it allows for web publishing.

Thanks. I already figured out. I retyped in the identifier and passcode and all was well.

Thanks,

Excellent. They do have to match exactly.
