Title: Re: Witango-Talk: Filemaker Server 7

Shannon,

        Would you mind including your jdbc.ini entries to give us a better starting point? I upgraded to the latest FMPro xDBC plugin and I'm getting some slightly different errors now. I just want to make sure my jdbc file is configured properly. Thanks.

We're using Filemaker Server 7 Advanced and Witango 5 Server on OS X with JDBC.

If you're getting a connection refused error, it sounds like you have the parts in the right places.  First, be sure the server is set to accept ODBC/jDBC connections on the Configuration tab of Filemaker Server Admin.  Then, using a 7 client,  you need to open the file (not while served) and turn ODBC/JDBC sharing on using Filemaker Pro>Sharing>ODBC/JDBC... Select your file from the list of currently open files and select the user access level. If you don't see the ODBC/JDBC option, you either have the wrong version of Filemaker 7 client or you need to install the xDBC.fmplugin. If you're still getting that error, you might check that port 2399 is set to accept connections.

I hope that helps.

On a different note, we've noticed some fairly unfortunate instability on our Filemaker Server 7 Advanced server. Notably, it just stops accepting new connections every now and then. I'm not sure that is related to Witango.   I would be interested in knowing if other folks see similar behavior.

One additional note, I did manage to crash the Filemaker Server by using an UNION via JDBC(Filemaker says this is unsupported, but I did not listen.  :-))

Has anyone gotten Filemaker Server advanced 7  on mac to hook up with witango. Every time we try to hook up the jdbc connection we get  connection refused error.

If you have gotten this to work how were you able to get this to?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
