Installation troubles with FileMaker 10 Server on SBS 2003 SP2

[thepagedesigner]

I looked through the posts and didnt see anything that applied, but I may have missed something.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

After completing the installation of FMS10, with a check mark next to "start deployment assistant"

I get a screen in my browser that says "Please wait while server admin starts" and I can see the status bar cycling between "connecting to local host" and "done", I have waited hours, uninstalled,reinstalled and nothing. I have used this command "netsh firewall set 16000 enable" to all ports listed in the setup guide. Uninstalled/reinstalled java and disabled v11, installed php5 but did not set up sever.

If I didnt not provide enough information to troubleshoot please let me know, I am really hurting here and am probably just being stupid.

Thanks in advance for any help

Do you have the correct OS?

Win 2003 Server SBS is not listed as suitable, however Standard Edition (SP2) is.

First, welcome.

Second, SBS is not a supported OS. Please use Windows Server 2003 SP 2 Standard Edition 32 bit version. It is the certified OS.

Beyond that check Java versions and services control panel as well.
