26 FileMaker Server Getting Started Guide
1 To use web publishing on a 64-bit edition of Windows, follow the instructions in “Using Web publishing
on 64-bit Windows editions” on page 57 before running the Deployment assistant.
Installing on the worker machines
Install FileMaker Server on the worker machines first, then on the master machine. Worker machines run
the web server, the Web Publishing Engine, or both. You can change the machine role of each worker later.
Note If you set up a machine as a worker and want to change it to a master, uninstall and then reinstall
FileMaker Server. Choose Master in the installer’s Master/Worker Designation dialog box. For more
information, see
chapter 5, “Upgrading or moving an existing installation.”
