Configuring by host
When you configure the Web Server Connector by host, you specify
which databases on each host machine that you want the Web Server
Connector to send database requests to. This configuration is useful
if you have all of the databases on one or more machines.
To configure the Web Server Connector by host:
1. Click Configure by Host on the FileMaker Web Server Connector
configuration page or in the navigation bar of any page.
2. On the Configure by Host web page, click Add Host.
3. On the Add Host web page, enter the IP address or domain name
of the host machine in the Host text box.
4. In the Port text box, enter the port number that is set in the Web
Companion Configuration dialog box on the host machine.
If the host machine is the same as the web server machine, this port
number must be different than Port 80, which is reserved for web
servers.
5. Click Next.
A list of all the databases that are open and shared via the Web
Companion on the host machine appears in the Host Detail web page.
6. Click the Serve Database checkboxes to enable each database in the
list that you want the Web Server Connector to send requests to. You
can also click Select All to enable all the databases in the list.
To sort the list of databases, click Database at the top of the list.
7. Click Submit.
8. To redisplay the complete list of databases on the host machine,
click Refresh View.
9. Repeat step 3 through step 7 for each host machine.
