Selecting a deployment type

In this Deployment assistant step, choose how to deploy FileMaker Server components. You only see the Deployment Type if you have selected Yes, enable web publishing on the previous step. FileMaker Server includes three components that can be deployed: the Database Server, the Web Publishing Engine, and the Web Server components. With the Deployment assistant, you can choose to deploy these components on one or two machines depending on your needs.

See Which deployment type is right for me? for more information.

To select a deployment type:

1. For Deployment Type, choose one of the following:


Deployment type	Deployment details
Single Machine	Master: all FileMaker Server components
Two Machines	Master: Database Server Worker: Web Publishing Engine and Web Server component

2. Click Next to go to the next step.

Click Back to return to the previous step or Cancel to exit the Deployment assistant.

Notes

• The master machine is always the machine that runs the Database Server.

• If you are deploying FileMaker Server components on more than one machine, install the software on the worker machine first and then the master machine to ensure a smoother deployment process.
