OK, I'll try this again...FMPU and Apache

[bkraatz]

I posted earlier and received no response on this forum and one response on another. After spending several hours sifting through old posts--questions remain. I'll try more precise questions here.

I would like to publish a FMPro database. This would be published on an Apache Server. For arguments sake, let's say it's running Red Hat Linux 7.1 (what I believe is required form my reading--although I claim only ignorance on these matters). Must I purchase FMPU to create CDML tagged pages? This is what I think is correct. In otherwords, FMPro 5.5. wouldn't cut it, eh? I could just Instant web publish with that--correct? I ask because althoug it would be nice to inable unlimited users, if I could do everything I want and only allow 10 users I could manage.

If I tried to do this, is this how it would go? Put FMPU *and* the database(s) *and* the HTML pages on the Apache server and use some connector thing I've read about to make FMPU and Apache get along. I realize I know too little about this, but I will eventually have help from a "real" server type person. I just want to know if what I want to do is possible. It seems as though it should be.

Again, any help would be appreciated

You can use FMP 5.5 for Custom Web Publishing (CDML), the only problem being the 10 IP addresses in a 12 hour period.

You can use FMU with an Apache Server by using the 'Connector'. However, FMU/FMP will only run on Mac and Win. So, if Apache is on Linux you will need to have FMU/FMP on another computer. However, if Apache is on Mac or Win you can have FMP/FMU on that computer (not recommended by FM; but works OK).

Hope this helps.
