1 a CD or DVD drive
1 Mac OS X Server 10.0.3

Requirements on Linux machines
To use the Web Server Connector on Linux you need:
1 a hard disk with at least 42 MB of free space
1 a CD or DVD drive
1 Red Hat Linux 7.1 i386
1 Apache Web Server 1.3.19
Installing on Windows
You can use the FileMaker Web Server Connector with Microsoft
Internet Information Server 5.0. Before you install the Web Server
Connector, you must install the Internet Information Server software
on your Windows 2000 machine. (See the documentation for the
server software for information.)
Note Installing the Web Server Connector requires you to restart
your server. Before you begin the installation process, save your
work, exit other open programs, and turn off virus protection
utilities.
To install the Web Server Connector:
1. Insert the FMWSC and Tools CD into your CD or DVD drive.
2. Click the arrow next to Install FileMaker WSC 5.5 to begin the
installation.
3. In the Welcome screen, click Next.
4. Read the license agreement. If you agree to these terms, select
I accept the terms in the license agreement, then click Next.
5. Personalize this copy of the Web Server Connector by typing your
name, organization name, and by indicating who can access the Web
Server Connector from this computer (only you, or anyone else who
uses this computer). Click Next.
6. Choose Complete in the Setup Type screen to install the Web Server
Connector, then click Next.
7. Click Install to begin the Web Server Connector file installation.
The Web Server Connector stops installation if it detects another,
previously installed servlet engine on your web server. For
information about installing the Web Server Connector with other
servlet engines, see the Readme.txt file in the Unsupported folder on
the FMWSC and Tools CD.
8. Click Finish to close the Setup Wizard.
When the installation is finished, you are asked to restart your
computer.
9. Click Yes to restart now or No if you want to restart later.
