FileMaker Web Server Connector Administrator’s Guide
Configuration 2: FileMaker Pro 5 Unlimited, the Web
Server Connector, and web server software on a single
machine
In this configuration, FileMaker Pro 5 Unlimited and the Web Server
Connector are installed directly on the web server machine. This
configuration delivers the server-derived benefits of the Web Server
Connector, but it is not recommended for performance reasons.
Configuration 3: FileMaker Pro 5 Unlimited on one
machine, the Web Server Connector on another machine
In this configuration, FileMaker Pro 5 Unlimited hosts databases on
one machine, and the Web Server Connector resides on another. This
is a preferred configuration, because you are able to take advantage
of the server-derived benefits of the Web Server Connector using
only two machines.
