Help: Need command line assistance

[JSK15]

I have FM10 Server installed on a Small Business Server 2003 machine and as such the Admin Console refuses to load. Therefore, I am attempting to administer this from command line. FM10Server seems to be hosting out the sample file just fine. So I need to get it to host out my solution files.

I have my solution installed to D:FM ServerData with a .cd4. I am trying to open up these files, however just geting a 10904 error. Can anyone tell me what I need to do? I think I need to setup the default database folder and unsure how to do this...

Hiya

Thanks, I have that. I keep trying the open command line but keep getting error 10904. I can't seem to point the open command towards the installed folder.

JSK,

First change the directory to point to the fmsadmin.exe directory.

cd "c:Program FilesFileMakerFileMaker ServerDatabase Server "

Then the open command.

fmsadmin OPEN -y -u username -p password databasename

You know, the real solution to this problem is to use the certified OS for FileMaker Server.

A good idea but not the resolution to this issue. We have a few Small Business servers and can script fmsadmin just fine.

Not running on SBS is still the long-term and only fundamental solution to the issue. The rest is a workaround.

There is a lot of functionality in the Admin console that is not available in the command line version.
