Deploying FileMaker Server : Testing FileMaker Server
 
Testing FileMaker Server
Note  The following information is for server administrators and group administrators.
The easiest way to test your FileMaker Server deployment is to use the Technology Tests page. The links on this page access the hosted FMServer_Sample.fmp12 database using the technologies listed below. If a test succeeds, then all the FileMaker Server components are working.
To test the FileMaker Server deployment:
1. Open the Technology Tests page.
There are two ways to view the page:
• Start Admin Console. Choose Server menu > Open Test Page.
• Type the following in a web browser:
http://<host>:16001/test
For a remote machine, type the following in a web browser:
https://<host>:16000/test/
where <host> is the IP address or domain name of the master machine in your FileMaker Server deployment.
If you see a browser security message, see Admin Console problems.
2. Click the link for each test that you want to perform.
 
To
Do this
Click Test FileMaker Pro.
If FileMaker Pro starts and successfully opens the sample database hosted on FileMaker Server, then the Database Server is working and responding to requests from FileMaker Pro clients.
Note  You must have FileMaker Pro or FileMaker Pro Advanced installed locally on the machine where you are conducting the test.
Tip  You can perform the same test another way. Start FileMaker Pro from any networked machine, click File menu > Open Remote, select the server you want to test, and select FMServer_Sample.
Click Test FileMaker WebDirect.
If another web browser window or tab displays the sample FileMaker WebDirect solution, then FileMaker WebDirect is working.
Click Test PHP Custom Web Publishing.
If another web browser window or tab opens and displays a table containing data from the sample database, then Custom Web Publishing with PHP is working.
