Configuring the Web Server Connector
Administration Account
The Web Server Connector uses an Administration Account name
and password to control access and prevent unauthorized changes.
Because the Web Server Connector runs on top of your web server
software, the Administration Account user name and password must
correspond to those of an existing account on your web server. For
Windows NT Server, this account must also have Administrator-
level access to the directories your web pages are stored in.
Resetting the administrator account
If you forget or lose your Web Server Connector administrator
password, you can reset it by deleting the fmwsc.properties file and
restarting your web server. This file is recreated the next time the
Web Server Connector is launched.
The fmwsc.properties file is located as follows:
Locating Web Server Connector and Web
Companion log files
The Web Server Connector and the FileMaker Pro Web Companion
each generate log files which are useful for troubleshooting
purposes. The Web Server Connector log files can help you diagnose
problems with the Web Server Connector on your web server, and
the Web Companion log files can help you isolate problems on
individual database host machines.
There are two Web Server Connector log files, FMWSC.log and
FMWSCNative.log. These files list the date and time of each server
start and close event, as well as all errors reported by the servlet
engine and the relay servlet.
Log files are located on the supported web servers as follows:
