Testing FileMaker Server
The easiest way to test your FileMaker Server deployment is to use the Technology Tests page. The
links on this page access the hosted FMServer_Sample.fp7 database via the technologies listed
below. If a test succeeds, then all the FileMaker Server components are working.
To test the FileMaker Server deployment:
1. Open the Technology Tests page.
There are two ways to view the page:
• Start Admin Console and click the Open Test Page icon:
• Type the following in a web browser:
http://[host or IP address of master]:16000/test
2. Click the link for each test that you want to perform.
