xochi Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Apple released a slew of updates yesterday for 10.4.8 -- including a Daylight Savings Time update which I could see being useful, and a Java update which one worries could affect IWP. Anyone tried these and care to report back? thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utahfuntimes Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 BIG problems. Did the install. Restarted my computer. Now IWP is hosed. Can not even get it to run. My entire FM IWP solution will not run any more. I had to port it all over to another computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xochi Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 I had a similar experience -- On an Intel Mac Mini, went from 10.4.7 to 10.4.8 + every update available. Rebooted, and though FMServer would work, IWP was dead. Re-installed FM Server 8 Web Publishing, no luck. Finally, re-installed FM Server Advanced 8v4, then FM Server 8 Web Publishing, rebooted a few times, and suddenly it started working!!! So I think it's possible, hang in there and try it again.

utahfuntimes Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 FOLLOW-UP! My above post WAS NOT an isolated incident. To test the latest Apple update, I updated a second machine. FM IWP did work for a while...but after one day it is now broken. The first machine was a desktop PPC, the second machine was a Intel-based Macbook Pro. This confirms there is a BIG issues with the latest Apple update and FM IWP. Be warned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John May - Point In Space Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Others have reported no problems, so there's something else factoring into this situation than just the updates themselves. Especially considering xochi got it to start working again. We're waiting to update here until a consensus is arrived at. - John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utahfuntimes Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 OK. So here is what seems to solve the problem...and this thinking goes along with xochi's comments above...the fact that he did a reinstall to get it to work. Go to your FM folder. Open the Extensions folder. Open the web support folder. Move the item called "FM Web Publishing" to your desktop. Now launch FM. Your IWP will of course not work. Quite FM. Move "FM Web Publishing" back into the "Web Support" folder again. Now when you launch FM all should be working properly again. I have confirmed this with both machines I was having problems with...it seems to have fixed it. This is better than doing a complete reinstall.

John May - Point In Space Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 So you're having a problem with FM Pro, not FMSA? There is no FM Web Publishing extension on FMSA that I can see. - John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xochi Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 To clarify : my setup is FM Server Advanced 8.0v4 on an Intel mac. After the 10.4.8 + updates (Java, DST, etc.), IWP stopped working. After a reinstall of FMSA + FM Web Publishing and a couple of reboots (and perhaps a couple "sudo systemstarter start "FileMaker Web Publishing" commands) it started working. YMMV.
