62 FileMaker Server Getting Started Guide
Cannot start Admin Console from a remote machine
1 If the master machine has a firewall enabled, then you must open the ports required by FileMaker Server to
communicate with users and administrators. See
“Before you begin” on page 37.
1 If you double-click an Admin Console shortcut and Admin Console doesn’t open, check whether the IP address
of the master machine has changed. Each shortcut starts Admin Console for a specific FileMaker Server
deployment. If the IP address of the master machine has changed, you must remove the shortcut and start Admin
Console again. See
“Starting Admin Console” on page 67.
Clients cannot see databases hosted by FileMaker Server
The firewall settings on the master machine may be blocking the display of databases to clients. See “Before you
begin” on page 15 and “Before you begin” on page 37 for more information on which ports need to be unblocked
in firewalls.
The Mac OS web server fails during startup
When you install the FileMaker Server supported PHP engine, it does not appear in the Mac OS X Server Admin
tool; it is not supposed to be listed. If you use the Mac OS X Server Admin tool to turn on PHP, the Server Admin
tool adds a second PHP engine to the web server's configuration files. As a result, the web server may fail during
startup when it attempts to load the second PHP engine. Refer to the Knowledge Base for more information.
