Server console broken on FMP10 server

[brian rich]

It looks like this FMP10 server has fallen victim to the Java Update, so I am unable to fully manage the server. In particular, I need to change the SMTP Host settings as the ISP Host settings have changed - one of the databases generates eMail automatically, er well it used to...

Is this possible to do via the Command Line Interface? I can't see an obvious command that would allow me to define or change this.

If this isn't possible, how do I install just the necessary Java components of the Admin Console on another computer which hasn't got the Jave 'update' issue. If I run the server installation, it seems to want to install everything and there is no obvious option to just install the Admin Console.

TIA

You're taking the wrong approach. From a workstation on the network that has not had the Java update installed, launch browser and enter 0.0.0.0:16000, where 0.0.0.0 is the IP address of the FIleMAker Server machine. That downloads the console. Ports 16000 and 16001 must be available.

I have the exact same problem....can't launch FM 10 admin console after updated Java on my system and on the FM server (all Windows XP). I tried on other systems, but all them have eith the same error or requiring to install Java. I'm stuck! Any fix on the systems with updated Java? Thank you much for any help!

For your information....the FM admin console works after removing the latest update of Java (version 6 update 25) on two of my systems. The two systems are now running Java 6 update 4 and 7.

Best,
