Forum post by Andrew Nield

We have a Filemaker 11 Server that I have inherited and I can't access the Admin Console. 

What does this mean?  And how to fix it?

Thanks

Webdirect POPOVER doesn't show at the first click

Forum post by Jason Gan

Hi Forum,

I wish someone can shed some light on this webdirect issue:

I have a table "ITEMS" and "ZONES". each item has different zones. On my item list, I am showing heading " item ID" and heading "Zones"; under heading "item ID" I am showing the field "item ID", under heading "Zones", I am showing "view" popover button. 

First time when you click on "view", I will populate that item's zones into the zones table ( which has fields: id, item id, zone, selected) . for example, for Item ID=1, I populate 3 zones records: 

Item Id=1; zone="a";

Item Id=1; zone="b";

Item Id=1; zone="c";

When I click on "view", I want to show the popover window to show related zones, so I can select which zones. On the popover window script trigger ON-Object Enter I am trying to check if the related zones populated, if not I will just populate them.  the populate zone script is just like this:
 
if (count(zones::id)=0
New window
Go to layout "Zones"
New record
Set Item ID="a"
New record
Set Item ID="b"
New record
Set Item ID="C"
Close window
endif
 
The popover window is always showing correctly in FileMaker Pro 13. But in Webdirect, the first time I just don't see the popover window, and I have to click on the "view" button second time, so the pop-over window is able to show.  
 
I think the problem is "new window" and "close window", as Webdirect doesn't support multiple windows !
 
I tried to  go to  an object ( which the object name is within the popover window) at the end of the population script, but still not working in webdirect.   BUT in FileMaker Pro is always working fine.
 
If you know any work around for this, please advise.
 
Thanks,
 
Jason

Issue after applying 10.0.5 update FMS 11 MacOS10.6.8

Your post

Hello Everyone

Today I installed the "fms_11.0.5.510" updater to my database server and my web server.  I needed to run the "fms11patch" installed  in order to get the admin console working again.

Once I logged into the admin console again I was greeted with a big old error message that I have never seen before.  When I am viewing the "Filemaker Server Overview" page there is a red light with a error message stating " Server Status Information - An error was encountered communicating with the server" I have attached a screen shot - the odd thing is all my Filemaker web services appear to be working correctly but i really want this red icon gone...

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Filemaker Server remote monitoring options?

Forum post by M Young

Hi,

Does anyone have any suggestions/advice on setting up some monitoring for FM12/13 databases? Right now I have an FM12 database at a colo and a separate fm13 db at a remote office. I'd love to have some centralized monitoring/alerting set up at my office so that when the database goes down or is unresponsive (or less responsive than it should be) that I will get an email/sms alert.

Right now I get an email when a script fails, and I can set up general OSX Server monitoring for the actual hardware health and connectivity, but I'm not sure what options are available to me to let me know (without going in and looking at the server console) when the DB goes down, web publishing stops for no reason, or response times get out of the acceptable range. Any ideas?

Cheers,

MY

FMS11 lost schedules; need sample file

Forum post by L. Allen Poole

Hi - 

Can anyone share with me a copy of fms11_settings.xml? My client deleted his without backup, and as his Admin Console is inoperable (MacOS) and I don't see a way to create new backup schedules using the FMS command line interface, I think I'll need to manually create and install a new version of his schedule settings file. A working sample I can use for content/syntax reference will be invaluable, but if you know of another way to enable schedules in FMS11 without the admin console please let me know.

Thanks,

Allen

Forum post by Todd Geist

hello,

I am aware that FileMaker Server 11 is probably not certified for Lion Server. However I am just trying to confirm if the issue I am having just a problem with my server.

if I run the command

fmsadmin -u Admin -p pswd LIST files

I get this error

fmsadmin: Permission denied.
Error: 9
 
I am absolutely certain that I have the right user name and password. It is just not working.  I already re-installed FileMaker server.
 
Can anyone confirm that fmsadmin command line tool works on Lion Server?
 
Thanks

auto logout options for databases (5 Comments)

Forum post by alternapop

What are the various auto logout options for databases?

Under FMP 13 Server console > Web Publishing > FileMaker WebDirect... I see that a 'session timeout' can be set.

How is auto logoff of databases controlled that are opened with FMP Client?   Is that a per database setting configured within the database?  Is there a way to control this system-wide?

investigating no longer responding disconnects

Forum post by Al Davis

Hello,

Filemaker Server 13

I want to figure out why clients randomly drop their connection to the server while actively in databases.

The server sends me the alert emails, with the client and time of drop.

2014-09-17 09:15:29.409 -0400   Warning 30      FMP13SERVER     Client "james (02140james) [192.168.1.126]" no longer responding; connection closed. (10)

My question, is their somewhere I can go to see specifically why it dropped the connection? Was it a script problem, client problem, layout problem, or something more specific besides just disconnected?

Thanks

FileMaker Server + File Upload Failed

Forum post by Katrina Rolfe

Hi everyone,

I have been using FileMaker for three months. FileMaker is new to me and I have had to learn everything from scratch, using a combination of trial and error, online training videos and this forum.

This week, my company purchased FileMaker Server 13 and 5 concurrent connections. I downloaded the software and installed it, both withouts issues. Now I am ready to upload my FileMaker database and I am having no luck.

I don't pretend to understand a lot about the Server, but I just followed the basic File>Sharing>Upload to FileMaker Server or clicking on the Upload button on the toolbar method. Everything seemed to be going fine, I chose the IP Address, chose the Database file that I wanted to upload and whilst it does start uploading, after about 5 minutes, it stops with the "File Upload Failed" message.

I have FileMaker Pro 12 installed on my Mac OSX Mavericks. When installing the Server I chose a Single Machine installation, but only because I really did not understand fully the difference between single and multi. Again, a lot of this is really over my head so perhaps I have not installed it in the best way. I am working solely off my mac at the moment for everything FileMaker related, but the idea is that the rest of the company can connect to the database, once it's on the server, via WebDirect.

I know this information may not be enough to go on, but if anyone can shed any light on why a database will not upload to a brand new server, that would be appreciated. If you need any additional information, please let me know.

Thanks,

Katrina

Forum post by Maria Raeder

Hi, 

I am working on a fmp -dataase, but are considering the server in addition - mostly due to security and backup issues because a database will be dealing with patient-information. 

Which computer should I chose to host the filemaker server? I am considering buying a macbook pro to keep both my fmp and my filemaker server - is that a good option? - or would it be more flexible to buy a small stationary (mac mini with server), and a small laptop in addition. Can a access data from a windows pc if both the fmp and the fmserver is loacted on a macmini?

I would greatly appricated any advice, 

Thank you,

Forum post by Gerard Beutler

When setting up a scheduled script on FMS 12 w/Windows Server 2008 the creation of the schedule goes fine but when the script is saved the time to be run next is 3 hours later that what was chosen during the wizard.

Returning to the script editor shows the time that was originally selected but no change on the next scheduled time when finished.

Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

Forum post by Stuart Brown

Apparently starting in November, Google Chrome will display an error on all websites with SHA-1 SSL certificates. GoDaddy recommends moving to SHA-2 to negate this issue. However, I've noticed FileMaker Server only seems to support GoDaddy SSL SHA-1 certificates (source). Is this true? If so, will there be an server update to allow the use of SHA-2?

Many of my users access via WebDirect, specifically via Google Chrome. This is of particular concern.

Can't login to FMS database on new Mac, other Macs can (7 Comments)

Forum post by gnat

I've found some previous posts regarding this, but still can't solve the problem.  Please bear with me as I'm not fluent with the terminology here and there.

The server is FMS 9.0.3.325, running on a Mac-mini OS 10.5  I'm trying to access the server using FMP 9.ov3, running on an iMac with OS 10.6.  I just set up this new iMac, installed FMP 9.  When I go into Open Remote File dialog box, it sees the host "host-name-here(192.168...etc)".  When I click on this, nothing appears in the Available Files box. 

I should say that 5 other Mac computers, even an older G4 iMac, all can access the host as well as the database files, which appear in the Available Files box.

On this iMac that can't log on, in FileMaker Network Settings dialog box, I have Network Sharing turned on.

I read about a server.pem file that can be the culprit for such problems, either missing or corrupted, but it seemed limited to Windows. I searched for such a file on other Macs that are connecting to the database and found no such file.

Please help me troubleshoot this. Thanks.

Constrain Found Set and FMS

Forum post by Robert H

I've encountered an issue with constraining a found set with our companies database on FileMakerServer v12.

I'm not sure what I'm missing but when I am connected via Advanced 13, perform a find on a set of related tables and then constrain the found set I am receiving a error stating no records were found. I know there are records there that match the constraint.

I experimented and copied our database from the FMS to a desktop and worked locally, the exact same find and constrain works.

I'm lost, there must be something I don't understand about the FMS and Client in regards to constraints. Can anyone please help.

 

Edit: I forgot to mention the constrain happens on an unstored calculation field, but again why would it work on a local copy vs the copy stored on the FMS.

Edit2: Same database on FMS13 works fine. Is this possibly a bug/issue with FMS12 ?

Can anyone point me to documentation on details of setting up Server 13 on a Windows Server machine? I have server installed, and loaded all our FM 12 files, and I can see the server from FM clients on our LAN, but cannot see any of the served files.  I can't access the Server Test Page, or Server Start Page, or even Server help because of the website's security certificate.  Windows suggests I not go to these pages, and then provides no options to override their suggestion.   I have disabled all the security I could find on Explorer's Internet Option screen.  This is my first experience with Windows Server, and it is quite frustrating.

I administer a hosted data base (actually several) for a small user group of 25 - 50, usually 10 - 15 connected at a time. The company is upgrading to FMP 13 (I don't have Advanced - can't convince them of its value).

Do we need to upgrade Server to 13?
