Where files are stored on your hard disk

options you choose. When installation is complete, you can view the Web Publishing Engine Installer Log File,
which lists the location of each installed file, in the
FileMaker Server folder inside the Library folder. You can view
the log file with TextEdit or a word processing program. If the log file already exists from a previous installation,
the new information is appended at the end of the file.

You can use the FileMaker Web Publishing Engine installer to uninstall the Web Publishing Engine software
components. Before uninstalling, be sure to stop the Web Publishing Engine services. See “Starting, restarting,
