FileMaker Server 8 Installing

[omaldonado]

Trying to install FMS 8 on Windows 2003 Enterprise, we get an error of openssl.exe and MMC crash. The Admin does'nt connect with server and services can't start manually. The same on Windows 2003 R2 Standard. No solutions on forums.

In Standard Windows 2003 installation and looking on the FileMaker Server folder, I found 3 files with wrong extensions. These are:

server.pem

root.pem

FMStrs.dls

I changed the extension to this files to dll

server.dll

root.dll

FMStrs.dll

After this and rebooting the server machine, the conecction was OK.

Tomorrow i'll try this solution on Enterprise version of windows.

Hope this helps someone.
