WinXP with VMWorkstation

[nikosman]

Hi All,

I have an XP SP3 machine with FM 11 advanced

I created a Virtual Server machine with VMWare workstation and installed Win Server 2008 standard.

I then installed the FMS advanced 11 and in the setup I chose the IWP with One Machine option.

The problem starts at this point:

I get a message saying that the Web Server connection failed.

If I skip the Web Server setup I don't see my FMS IP in my FM advanced remote files .

If I don't setup the IWP at all, I can see the Server's IP but no Datafiles available on the right side of the table.

So, I can't connect to the Database in both cases.

Can anyone please give some step by step advice on how to setup the Win 2008 Server ?

PS with Mac OS LEO no such problem.

I'm hoping this W2K8 virtual setup hosted on XP is only for testing?

There seem to be a couple of differnt things going on because the databases in the file remote open dialog has nothing to do with the web setup.

For the web setup, the issue is likely an IIS setup issue. Make sure IIS is running and that you can bring up a web page through IIS. Also do a search for "IIS" in the FileMaker knowledge base (http://help.filemaker.com/) for some troubleshooting pointers.

For the files not showing up in File Open Remote: check the firewall settings on your XP and on the W2K8 server.
