About accessing databases with FileMaker WebDirect
By default, FileMaker Server supports one FileMaker WebDirect or one FileMaker Go connection
at a time. To share information with multiple simultaneous web users, you can purchase additional
concurrent connections at the FileMaker Store. See http://www.filemaker.com.
Other ways to publish FileMaker data on the web
In addition to FileMaker WebDirect, there are two other ways to publish your data:
Static publishing: If your data rarely changes, or if you don’t want users to have a live connection
to your database, you can use static publishing. With static publishing, you export FileMaker
Pro
data to create a webpage that you can further customize with HTML. The webpage doesn’t
change when information in your database changes, and users don’t connect to your database.
See FileMaker
Pro Help.
Custom Web Publishing: To integrate your FileMaker database with a custom website, use the
Custom Web Publishing technologies. See FileMaker
Server Custom Web Publishing with PHP
and FileMaker
Server Custom Web Publishing with XML.
