hi, i was looking over the internet to find more information about the installation of filemaker server 11. i noticed there is an option in the installation where you can tell that you want to use 1 server as database + publishing server and another server as webserver.

My question is, if anyone knows if its possible to use a linux webserver (that is allready using php5) as webserver for the web publishing tool.

plz let me know.

From all I can tell there is no way of doing this that is officially supported by Filemaker. There are hacks for it using various itreations of Linux server, but they all seem to have bugs. This is from the FM Server 11 Advanced getting started guide:
