Deployment problems

Note The following information is for server administrators.

The Deployment assistant reports that the web server test failed

If the Deployment assistant cannot communicate with the web server that you specified, you can provide more information and try again.

To detect the web server:

1. In Admin Console, choose Server menu > Edit Deployment.

2. In the Deployment assistant, click Next until you see the screen to assign a worker machine to the web server role.

3. Follow the instructions in Configuring worker machines.

The OS X web server fails during startup

When you install the FileMaker Server supported version of PHP, it does not appear in the OS X Server Admin tool; it is not supposed to be listed. If you use the OS X Server Admin tool to turn on PHP, the Server Admin tool adds a second PHP engine to the web server's configuration files. As a result, the web server may fail during startup when it attempts to load the second PHP engine.

Refer to the FileMaker Knowledge Base for more information. See Customer Support and Knowledge Base.
