Requested URL not found error

[IanW]

I have been trying to run FMSA 10 on a Dell server using Windows Server 2008 without much success. I have constant problems with the IIS service suddenly stopping for no apparent reason. I decided to see if I could improve the situation by installing Apache 2, although it is not officially supported by FileMaker. It took some doing but I eventually got it up and running fine. Now the only issue I have is that one of my databases relies on SuperContainer and I get this error message in the container: "Not Found

The requested URL /SuperContainer/Files/Properties/143/1 was not found on this server."

Nothing else has changed. I've moved the server root directory from inetpub/wwwroot to Apache2/htdocs, but surely this should not affect SuperContainer?

Any clues or hints would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like you've made some significant changes to your system. Normally SuperContainer is installed with FileMaker server and then piggy-backs on the connection through that. Are you able to access IWP?

This sort of customization is not supported through us, and I'm guessing filemaker either. You may want to consider using Tomcat to run SuperContainer for you, or use the stand-alone deployment. Both of those options are supported deployments and may have fewer issues for you.

I've taken up your suggestion about running it as a standalone app. It works and so far I've had no problems. Apache seems to be so much faster than IIS. Hopefully I'll have fewer issues than I had before. Many thanks
