Note The following information is for server administrators.

To specify startup settings, click the General Settings > Startup tab, and set the Machine Startup and Database Server Startup options:

•Select Automatically start Database Server to automatically start the Database Server component on the master machine when the computer restarts.

•Select Automatically start Web Publishing Engine to automatically start the Web Publishing Engine on the master machine when the computer restarts.

•Select Automatically open databases that are in the database folders to automatically open databases that are in the databases folder on the master machine when the Database Server restarts.

Notes

•You can start or stop the Database Server or the Web Publishing Engine without restarting the machine. You can start or stop these components from the Status pane. The Status pane shows if they are functioning normally. See Starting or stopping FileMaker Server components.

•You can manually start the Database Server and Web Publishing Engine if you don't enable the startup settings. When the machine restarts, you can start Admin Console, then start the Database Server, the Web Publishing Engine, or both. See FileMaker Server information and Web Publishing Engine information.
