Installing 360 Works Products on FileMaker 12 Server Advanced

[Avi_Samocha]

Hi,

 

First, I would like to apologize for the newbie question I'm about to ask, I'm new with FileMaker and 360 Works.

This question is about DocuBin and SuperContainer.

 

I've installed FileMaker 12 Server Advanced few weeks ago, in a 2 server deployment, one is the Database server and the other is the Web Publishing server.

 

I've been asked to install DocuBin, which as I found out, also requires SuperContainer during the initial configuration (it asks for the website URL).

 

In 360Works documentation, they say for example, "Copy the downloaded SuperContainer folder to the FileMaker Server and run the installer", What I don't understand is to which of the servers they refer too, the Database server or the Web Publishing server?

 

I thought that it should be on the Web Publishing server because as I understand, SuperContainer configures something for a website and only the Web Publishing server has IIS installed, the Database server doesn't have IIS.

But... I'm not sure at all so that's why I'm asking here...

 

I will appreciate any help and clarification about this.

 

Thanks!

 

Avi.

Hi Avi,

 

The 360Works documentation is referring to the Web Publishing server because the installer puts SuperContainer server into the Web Publishing Engine of FileMaker Server.
