Notes
• If FileMaker Pro is already running while the Database Server is starting up on the same
machine, the Database Server will start up but then abruptly stop. Stop FileMaker Pro, then
start the Database Server. If this problem persists, restart your computer, then start the
Database Server before starting FileMaker Pro.
• If you have large files or files with many connected clients, the process of stopping the
Database Server may take several minutes. If you encounter problems, disconnect clients.
For more information, see Disconnecting clients
(page 92). Also try closing hosted files. For
more information see Closing hosted files
(page 97).
• When you stop the Database Server, Admin Console functionality is limited to FileMaker
Server Overview. To use other functionality, you must start the Database Server again.
• When you stop the Web Publishing Engine, you must start it again before you can configure
web publishing settings.
• If you need to start or stop the FileMaker Server service
or daemons manually, see Starting
or stopping the FileMaker Server service (Windows) (page 52) or Starting or stopping
FileMaker Server daemons (Mac OS) (page 53).
