Steven H. Blackwell Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 If I properly understand your question, I don't think there is much you can do to reset the admin password other than a reinstall. Maybe you could use the Terminal to close the files and stop the FileMaker Server daemon. Then reinstall. That x326 patch is for use only on servers, Macintosh or Windows, who are being contacted by a Leopard OS Mac client running the Console remotely for administration purposes. Was there some other event that occurred that, such as an OS patch or security upgrade, that could have caused this? Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Nassar Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 That x326 patch is for use only on servers, Macintosh or Windows, who are being contacted by a Leopard OS Mac client running the Console remotely for administration purposes. That's interesting. The VLA images being distributed by FileMaker right now are at .326 already -- I have a client that just placed that order and installed. Is what you're saying that x326 is not to be used except in the specific circumstance listed above? We are having similar problems as those who can't get connect to the database, both through the admin console and through fmsadmin -- it gives permissions errors. Clean Leopard install, then installation of the FMS image downloaded first thing. Should we be trying to get an install of v3.325 from FMI, see if that fixes things?

Steven H. Blackwell Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Yes, I know that x326 is being used on the VLA electronic cownloads and on the dsitributed media as well. I do not believe it is necessary for you to hunt for x325. If you have a x325 build already installed, you do not need to install x326 unless you are using an OS X machine to contact that server, as I previously indicated.

George Nassar Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Rats. That's the best lead I'd had to date regarding the problem. Thank you for your reply. I haven't found a thread mentioning this problem yet that discusses a solution to this (as we're on a PPC Mac, so Java 6 isn't an issue). Are there any leads, or is this at least a known issue?
