OS
For late-breaking information about the Web Publishing Engine, browse the contents of the CD and view the FMS
Web Read Me (English).pdf file in the FileMaker Server folder, or visit www.filemaker.com.
Overview of installation
During installation, you can choose to install the following Web Publishing Engine software components:
1 Web Publishing Engine component
1 Web Server Module and Administration Console components (always installed together as a unit on the web
server)
You can install the Web Publishing Engine software components on one, two, or three host computer
configurations. See chapter 4, “Installing the Web Publishing Engine in various host configurations.”
To create the one-computer configuration or variation A of the two-computer configurations, you can use the Easy
Install option. The Easy Install option installs the Web Publishing Engine component and the Web Server Module
and Administration Console components on the same host computer.
In variation B of the two-computer configurations, or in the three-computer configuration, the Web Publishing
Engine component is on a different host computer than the Web Server Module and Administration Console
components, which are on the web server host. To create either of these two configurations, you must run the
installer on the appropriate host and use the Custom Install option to install the Web Publishing Engine component
only. Then run the installer again on the web server host and use the Custom Install option to install the Web Server
Module and Administration Console components only.
To install the FileMaker Site Assistant and FileMaker CDML Converter tools, you must use an independent tools
installer. See “Installing the FileMaker Site Assistant and FileMaker CDML Converter” on page 48.
Before you install
Before you begin the installation process, review the following notes:
1 If you are using Mac OS X 10.3.9, make sure Java Update for Mac OS X 10.3.9 is installed on the host
computer. If it isn’t, use Software Update to install Java Update for Mac OS X 10.3.9 before beginning the
installation process.
1 Log on to the host computer using Administrator privileges.
