Mac OS X FM Serevr 5.5 and the web...

[kerrykurek]

I would like to make the databases avalable to the web, do I need to be running a web app like Apache or : I could use some suggestions or any links to documentation would be great!

thanks...

You need FM Unlimited.

If your traffic is low as up to 10 unique IP in 12-hour window or you just want to test you will use standard FM client.

In both cases you must enable WebCompanion.

[Anatoli]

This was discussed many times.

In short the URL looks like

http://URL:Port/directory/default.htm

Port can be omitted if 80.

Directory can be omitted is it is starting in web folder.

so basicall the question is

1. Can I share a database from a Mac OS X Box with just FileMaker Server?

2. do I need to also install and run the client from the Server to then share over the web?

[Anatoli]

1. NO

2. The client/unlimited machine has to be connected to web or web server can have WebConnector connected to this machine with client/unlimited.

Client/unlimited can get data from FM server

I need for these databases to be avalible from the web, I have installed the WebCompanion but can't seem to connet to the computer from a Browser, I have a DNS entry but still nothing.
