Installing the FileMaker Pro Web Server Connector with
AppleShare IP and WebSTAR
This chapter explains how to install the FileMaker Pro Web Server
Connector with AppleShare IP 6.2 and WebSTAR 4.0 on Mac OS
8.6 and higher.
Installing with AppleShare IP and
WebSTAR
Important Installing this program 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. Remember to
turn on virus protection utilities again when the installation is
complete.
1. Shut down the AppleShare IP server or WebSTAR server if they
are active. For information about doing this, see the documentation
that came with your server.
2. Insert the Web Server Connector CD-ROM into the CD-ROM
drive on the web server machine.
3. Double-click the FileMaker WSC 5 icon to begin the installation.
4. In the Software License Agreement screen, click Accept if you
agree to the terms of the license agreement.
5. In the Read Me screen, view the contents for any late-breaking
information about the Web Server Connector, then click Continue.
6. In the FileMaker Web Server Connector dialog box, choose Select
Folder from the Install Location pop-up menu.
7. Select the Web folder currently being used as the root directory for
AppleShare IP or WebSTAR.
Note 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 file in the Unsupported folder (Web
Server Connector CD-ROM\Unsupported\ReadMe).
8. When the installation is complete, click Quit.
9. Restart your server to launch the Web Server Connector.
The Web Server Connector is now running. See chapter 7, “Using
the Web Server Connector as host,” for configuration instructions.
Considerations after installation
AppleShare IP requires that you share the AppleShare IP Web folder.
It is important that you restrict access to the FMWSC.properties and
FMWSC.log files after installation. These files are stored in the Web
folder, and items with unrestricted access may be available through
a client’s web browser.
