Starting Admin Console
You can start FileMaker Server Admin Console on a Windows or macOS 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 open the Start Page on the local host machine (the master machine where FileMaker Server is installed), open a web browser and enter:
http://localhost:16001
Port 16001 is only available on the local host machine and not from a remote machine.
•To open the Start Page on a remote machine, open a web browser and enter:
https://[host]:16000
where
[host] is the
IP address or
domain name of the 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 go directly to the Admin Console Login page by adding /admin-console to the end of the URL:
•On the local host machine (the master machine where FileMaker Server is installed):
http://localhost:16001/admin-console
Port 16001 is only available on the local host machine and not from a remote machine.
•On a remote machine:
https://[host]:16000/admin-console
where [host] is the IP address or domain name of the master machine in your FileMaker Server deployment. 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.
