I have finished creating my Filemaker databases for a project. I have also completed making the HTML files that allow me to access the databases from the web. So far I have been using the Filemaker 4.1 Web Companion, which allows me to start a Filemaker Server on the NT machine on which I was working, and thus allows me to host the database and make it accessible on the web.

My dilemma is that I do not want to be using my NT machine as a server for the Filemaker files. I was wondering what you would suggest. Is there any way to run a Filemaker server on a generic web server, or on a linux machine?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any computer connected to the internet that can run Filemaker Pro can be a FMP server. Note that Web Companion itself is a web server, so the machine cannot have a web sever and web companion running at the same time due to port conflicts UNLESS you change the default port that web companion uses. This may mean making small changes to your html format files.

AFAIK Linux is out because Linux won't run FMP.
