Configuring the Web Publishing Engine 55
8. Enter the IP address of the host computer where FileMaker Server is installed.
If FileMaker Server is installed on the same host as the Web Publishing Engine, select the option FileMaker
Server is installed on the same machine as Web Publishing Engine. Select this option for a one-computer
configuration (described in “One-computer configuration” on page 31) and for variation B of the
two-computer configuration (described in “Two-computer configuration, variation B” on page 32).
9. Enter an identifier for the FileMaker Server.
The identifier is a unique string that the Web Publishing Engine uses to identify itself when it connects to
FileMaker Server. You must register the identical identifier string in FileMaker Server Admin for the Web
Publishing Engine.
10. If you registered a passcode in FileMaker Server Admin for the Web Publishing Engine, enter the same
passcode in the FileMaker Server Configuration: Server Address page. (The passcode is optional.)
Note If you want to revert back to the previously saved settings, click Revert.
For information on the FileMaker Server identifier and passcode, see “Registering the Web Publishing Engine
with FileMaker Server” on page 34.
11. If you are finished making configuration changes in the Administration Console, click Commit to save the
settings. You can also wait before clicking Commit if you want to make other changes before saving all settings.
Note After changing a setting, you must click Commit to save the setting. After you click Commit, you cannot
use Revert to revert back to the settings that existed before you clicked Commit.
If this is the initial configuration, Administration Console displays a message confirming that the settings have
been saved.
12. Click OK to restart the Web Publishing Engine to apply the changes.
Viewing an overview of the Web Publishing Engine configuration
To verify the Web Publishing Engine configuration, you can view an overview of the components by clicking the
Overview link at the top of the Administration Console.
If you specified the IP address, FileMaker Server identifier, and passcode correctly and the Web Publishing Engine
connected successfully with FileMaker Server, the Overview page shows the addresses of all of the components.
