I installed MirrorSync. When I try to log in, I get an error complaining about not being able to read the login properties file, as the folder /Users/Shared not existing (although it does exist). I gave reade & write permissions to everyone on that folder, removed and installed MirrorSync several times, restarted the WPE and Apache, and the whole machine, but it always returns this error when I try to log in.

Am I missing somethin obvious?

Hi, Jeroen:

Did you have a previous install of an older FMSA, like 10 or 11? I found that having installed two different versions created an issue that could only be resolved as I described in my post:

http://fmforums.com/forum/topic/84515-mirrorsynch-mac-installer-problems/

Maybe you should consider taking a similar approach of uninstalling FMSA, manually deleting most of the stuff in the /Library/FileMaker Server folder, then re-installing?

Good luck!
