    Over a year ago, I started an ambitious project; to develop a FileMaker solution where everything happens on a single screen. It has been much more work than I had anticipated but 8 projects later, it has been defined and refined to the poiint where it is now bulletproof and will work for any solution for any industry.
    On January 3, 2020 I will be releasing NautilusFM to the community under an open source (BSD) license so that anybody and everybody can benefit and learn from it. The release includes a comprehensive ebook with step-by-step instructions and an example file to illustrate all of the techniques and methodologies used; that example file could easily be used as a basis for projects and contains the basis functionality required for every business
    NautilusFM is a framework, a methodology for development. To read the background story

    NautilusFM is NOT a FileMaker solution although the example file is.

    I just installed FMS 15 on a Windows 2008 R2 machine - everything checked out and the install went smooth. I then purchased a Wildcard SSL certificate from Go Daddy. I generated a CSR from the FMS Admin Console and pasted the encrypted text into Go Daddy's text box to setup my SSL. Here is the problem:
    The CSR generated from the FMS Console set the domain as mydomain.com instead of fmpserver.mydomain.com
    Where does Filemaker Server Console get the information used to generate the CSR?
    How do I get FMS to generate a CSR with the correct sub-domain? It is a FQDN (sub) that resolves directly to the Public IP on my server.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi all,
    I'm new here so I hope I get everything right.
    I've done a search already, but I can not find my issue listed. Sorry if it's been covered before.
    OK, here goes.....
    VMWare Server running on HP Prolient G7 tin
    2 Virtual Cores
    4Gb RAM
    Windows Server 2012 R2 DataCenter x64
    IIS v8.5 (Default for 2012 R2)
    FileMaker Server 12
    FileMaker Pro 12 Advanced with Bonjour
    JRE v7
    This is a brand new build specificity for this use.
    I've installed FileMaker Server 12 on to the above setup with Custom Web Publishing using PHP I followed the deployment wizard and deployed for a single machine setup.
    I allowed FMS to install the provided version of PHP with it's own configuration.
    There is NO SSL configuration on the server at present.
    The admin console shows three green ticks to indicate that everything is happy.
    However, when I run the PHP Custom Web Publishing Test, I get the page displayed correctly, (PHP is working) and it identifies the name of the server, but below the main information box, I get the following error message:
    The PHP connection to the FMServer_Sample database failed.
    The PHP test was not able to communicate with the Web Publishing Engine. Make sure you have PHP publishing enabled and the database has the fmphp extended privilege enabled. (Error 22; Unknown error)
    The sample database is installed and it is listed in the admin console, status, normal and dots across the line. I can't imagine that it wasn't installed with the correct Extended Privileges for CWP and I would not be 100% confident to know what I should check for.
    I am viewing the CWP Test webpage on both the server and a client and getting the same error message.
    Can anyone suggest any further areas that I should be looking at?
    Cheers in advance,
    Barry.

    I have been successfully running FileMaker 12 Server Advanced for Instant Web Publishing (IWP) at db.npco.info, and am now trying to use PHP Custom Web Publishing (CWP). I've tried to follow instructions to make use of PHP API, but haven't succeeded yet.
    I will appreciate help or tips on the issue below.
    When clicking a link to test pages from a page http://192.168.1.26:16000/test on the server PC, I receive an error:
    Not Found
    HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found
    for Instant Web Publishing Test and PHP Custom Web Publishing Test
    (at
    http://192.168.1.26/fmi/iwp/cgi?-db=FMServer_Sample&-startsession and
    http://192.168.1.26/fmi-test/phptest.php?lang=ja&server=YUI_DELL_WIN7, respectively.)
    The server is FileMaker 12 Server Advanced on Windows 7 Professional (SP1), running IIS 6.1 as a web server. PHP was installed while setting up the FM server.
    Tried to run a PHP turotial, and
    http://192.168.1.26/PHP/Tutorial/English/Lesson1/home.php
    gives the same 404 error message.
    Noticed something must be wrong:
    http://db.npco.info/PHP/Tutorial/English/index.html
    is correctly displayed, but
    http://192.168.1.26/PHP/Tutorial/English/index.html
    gives the 404 error.
    I use a proxy server to redirect db.npco.info to 192.168.1.26.
    Actually, http://db.npco.info/fmi/iwp/res/iwp_home.html
    is displayed correctly, but
    http://192.168.1.26/fmi/iwp/res/iwp_home.html
    throws a 404 error on the server PC.
    At http://db.npco.info/PHP/Tutorial/English/Lesson1/home.php
    it crashes at $result = $findCommand->execute(); and displays
    FileMaker Questionnaire System Welcome to the Questionnaire Tutorial.Error: Communication Error: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 - This can be due to an invalid username or password, or if the FMPHP privilege is not enabled for that user.
    I must be missing something obvious..., but haven't been able to figure it out :-(
    Will greatly appreciate any tips or pointers.
