2.filemaker server on windows 2003 server
Hello, I just upgraded my server from a NT4 server to a windows 2003 server with new hardware (currently running 2 times Xeon 2.8, 2 GB RAM, 4 X 10K rpm 74GB in raid 5 configuration). Everything works fine (no speed problems, using 1Gbit switch) only filemaker is extremely slow. I configured filemaker server 5.5 to use 40MB (maximum). If the clients want to open a lot of files simutaniously (I'm using a lot of portals) or want to print huge lists, filemaker is extremely slowly. I checked the cpu usage and network usage, but it peaks at 0.7 %, so I don't think the cpu is the problem... .The clients are using Filemaker 5.5 and filemaker 6.0 . In the early situation, I used a pentium II 400Mhz, 128MB server and it worked faster :-(. Is anyone else experiencing the same problems and does anybody has any solutions? Thanks in advance, Jurgen Lemmens
3.Using Filemaker 7 Server Advanced and Windows Server 2003 standard
Hello, I've bought Filemaker 7 Pro Server advanced and Windows Server 2003 Standard. I've made a nice database in Filemaker Pro 7 using only scriptsteps that are browsercompatible. NO problem... very nice result but... Setting up Windows 2003 Server and Filemaker Pro 7 advanced is a ... If I look in the manuals of both Windows and Filemaker I get 1001 different settingpossibilities, and I just don't want to learn it all because it is not usefull to me. There must be some standard settings I schould do in Windows Server and Filemaker Pro Server advanced so that I can make my database available over the internet by using browsers. Is there somebody out there who can tell me how to set up Windows Server and Filemaker Pro 7 SErver advanced. Just what I should do. Nothing more, nothing less. Thank you. Marc PS I'v opend all the ports mentioned in the Filemaker manual and I have a fixed IP-adress.
4.How to configure Filemaker Server 7 advanced and windows Server 2003
Hello, I'm really frustrated because I've bought Filemaker Pro 7 Server Advanced and Windows Server 2003 ($$$!!!) and I'm not able to configure all of this (for months now). There are just to many possibilities and I just don't know what to enter. The manuals aren't clear (as usual with filemaker). Is there somebody who can tell me how to configure step by step Windows Server 2003 on one hand and Filemaker Server Advanced on the other so that I can serve filemaker files over the internet which anables me to login remotely (using Filemaker pro 7) to access my Filemaker files. Thank you very much! I love Filemaker, but I hate Filemaker Server Advanced!
I have a client who is primarily using XP, but got W2K for the FM Server based on the system requirements listed by FMI. Now he's adding servers at two other locations, and would prefer to use XP. I haven't encountered, or heard of, any problems with XP and FMS 5.5, so I'm inclined to tell him to go ahead, but that System Req list worries me. Has anyone had any problems with FMS 5.5 and XP? Has FMI commented on this somewhere that I missed? btw: I know he should upgrade to 7, but that expense and time just isn't in the cards at the moment. -- Shadenfroh XXXX@XXXXX.COM
