SC Deployment - 2 machine FMS setup

[ChrisOC]

We have FMS13 installed on a Win2012 Server.  We have it set up as a 2 machine configuration with the Web Publishing components residing on a separate server.

 

Where do we install (copy) the SuperContainer folder [which machine?  master or worker?] and on which machine do we create the required IIS Rule for SuperContainer redirect?

Hi Chris,

 

There are 3 different options for installing SuperContainer: 

1) run/install as a standalone app

2) install to FileMaker Server's Web Publishing Engine

3) install to a Tomcat server

 

I believe you are referring to the second option above where you install SuperContainer to the WPE of FMS since you are asking about the IIS redirect rule. If that's the case, you want to install SuperContainer manually to the Worker machine where the WPE is running, and you will also create the IIS rule on the same machine. You can find all the details necessary for manual installation here:

Please let me know if you have any questions about this.
