You must configure an Administration Account the first time you
use the Web Server Connector.
1. Open the Web Server Connector.
Depending on your web server software, do one of the following:
1 For IIS and PWS: On the web server, choose Start menu >
Programs > FileMaker WSC IIS > FileMaker WSC Admin.
1 For NES: On the web server, choose Start menu > Programs >
FileMaker WSC NES > FileMaker WSC Admin.
1 For AppleShare IP and WebSTAR: On the web server, launch the
file FMWSC Configuration Page, located in the FileMaker WSC
folder.
1 For Apache, or to configure the Web Server Connector remotely:
Point your browser to the IP address or domain name of your web
server using the address
http://
your IP address or domain name /FMPro?config
Use the format 123.456.789.123 or www.yourdomainname.com for
your IP address or domain name.
Apache FMPro?config is case sensitive, and must be entered exactly
as it appears here.
Tip If the database is shared from the same computer as the web
server software, you may enter
localhost as the domain name.

Use the same user name and password as for administrator-level
access to your web server.
Note IIS users, enter a user name only.
