FMS9 on Leopard X.5.5

Have been trying to track down why my new FMstudio/DWMX database select setup falls over (returns dreamweaver '959' splash). Trying to isolate if it matters which version of PHP, the FMS is configured for. I've read it shouldn't matter. In my situation it certainly seems to.

in FMS 9 server deployment; have tested using

PHP: yes, install FMS supported.... and also

PHP; no, use existing install (5.2.4)

XML is checked in both config tests, and the PHP type is the only difference.

Checking the / index both PHP configs produce the list (PHP shouldn't matter)

php pages show code in the browser if ' existing install PHP' is used, but process correctly if the FMS supported version is used (get text not code, and the full PHP info page.

Should this be happening?

It sounds like there is an issue with your existing PHP install so it's not loading. Open up the php.ini for that install and change display_startup_errors = Off to display_startup_errors = On . Then restart Apache. Any error messages that PHP encounters will pop up. Fix those and your existing install should work just fine. As long as you have the cURL library enabled pretty much any current install of PHP should play nice with Filemaker's API
