58 FileMaker Server Getting Started Guide
The tests on the FileMaker Server Technology Tests page access the sample database (FMServer_Sample.fp7)
using FileMaker Pro or one of the web publishing technologies. The following table describes the tests available
on this page.
To test Do this
FileMaker Pro Click Test FileMaker Pro.
If FileMaker Pro starts and opens the sample database hosted on FileMaker Server, then the Database Server
is working and responding to requests from FileMaker Pro clients.
You must have FileMaker Pro or FileMaker Pro Advanced installed locally on the machine where you are
conducting the test.
To perform the same test another way, start FileMaker Pro on another machine, choose File menu > Open
Remote, select the server you want to test, and select FMServer_Sample.
Instant Web Publishing Click Test Instant Web Publishing.
If another web browser window or tab opens and displays the sample database, then Instant Web Publishing
is working. If successful, this test shows that the Database Server, Web Publishing Engine, and web server
are working. A FileMaker Server Advanced license is required for Instant Web Publishing.

If another web browser window or tab opens and displays a table containing data from the sample database,
then Custom Web Publishing with XSLT is working. If successful, this test shows that the Database Server,
Web Publishing Engine, and web server are working.
Custom Web
Publishing with PHP
Click Test PHP Custom Web Publishing.
If another web browser window or tab opens and displays a table containing data from the sample database,
