Beware : Fix for Issues With Latest Java Updater on OS 10.6.8

[xochi]

After doing a Java update, FM Server 11 was dead.  The technique here  http://fmforums.com/forum/topic/88896-fix-for-issues-with-latest-java-updater-on-os-1068/  definitely got it working.

 

However, I'd advise caution. 

 

I did this on 2 servers.

 

One the first server, I didn't follow the instructions exactly - I failed to Restart when it said to.  

 

This resulted in two problems:

* java process started using 200% CPU

* filemaker server lost some of its config info: my backup scripts, and alternate file & backup paths were nuked.

 

On the second server I followed the instructions exactly and all went fine.

 

Moral: pay attention, and back up your FM Server config settings before doing this java fix.

Thanks for posting this.  The ability to backup the server config is a feature that is often overlooked.
