Starting Admin Console
You can start FileMaker Server Admin Console on a Windows or OS X computer that has network access to the
master machine in your FileMaker Server
deployment. FileMaker Server delivers Admin Console as a web application that runs in a supported web browser.
To start Admin Console:
1. Use one of the following ways:
• To go directly to the Admin Console Start Page, open a web browser and enter:
http://[host]:16001
where
[host] is the
IP address or
domain name of the master machine in your FileMaker Server deployment. Port 16001 is only available on the local host machine and not from a remote machine.
• To go directly to the Admin Console Start Page from a remote machine, open a web browser and enter:
https://[host]:16000
where
[host] is the
IP address or
domain name of an external master machine in your FileMaker Server deployment.
2. Click Start Admin Console, and the Admin Console Login page opens.
If this page doesn’t open or you see a browser security message, see
Admin Console problems.
3. In the Admin Console Login page, enter the user name and password for the Admin Console account.
Admin Console starts and displays the Status pane. See
Checking the status of your deployment.
Tip You can also start Admin Console and go directly to the Login page by entering /admin-console on the end. For example:
http://localhost:16001/admin-console
Notes
• After you have successfully started the Admin Console from your browser, save the address as a favorite to easily open Admin Console.
• If you need to restart the operating system, stop FileMaker Server first, then restart it after the operating system was restarted.
