If I remember 9.03 corrected a iwp issue. As for your client is on a different machine. It helps for file maint to have a client on the same machine as the server. The other thing you need to check on a Mac is the file permissions. Be sure all the database folders and files have the correct permissions.

The problem is I cannot turn on File sharing on a Filemaker file
even with Filemaker Server off. I also can't turn on IWP. I cannot
connect to the Filemaker file remotely when Fm Server is running. I
want another user from another IP address to connect to the file which
I assume doesn't have to be on the same network? Do you have to know
the IP address of the remote user before they log in to the file or is
authentication via login and pw enough?

In any case, I thought this might be a problem because I didn't run
the updaters. I downloaded the server update to version 9.02 and
the update for version 9.03. I try the 9.02 updater. Even with
Server off it says you have to turn Filemaker Server off before doing
the update but Filemaker Server is not on. This is on a Mac running
Tiger. Is there a plist file or preference file I can remove to get
the installer to work? I want to do Filemaker 2 updater before I do
version 3 updater. I read on FM web site that there is a problem
getting IWP to work on Tiger. The instructions are hard to understand
but it says that you need the full version of 9.03 not the updater to
get IWP to work. Is that correct? I don't have the full version of
9.03. If I do get the updater 9.02 to work then 9.03 then at the
least I would like remote networking to work but I would also like IWP
to work. I will reinstall the server but I would like to know what is
the problem because I don't want to reinstall the server and find the
problem is with the OS or something else.

I have all the OS updates to Tiger installed. i have another hard
drive on the same computer with Leopard but i don't want to install
FMSA on Leopard since I have a PHP MySQL server running on it and I
want them separated. I suppose I could install Leopard on the Tiger
drive if I need to but this is turning out to be really complicated
for just demonstrating a file.
Thanks,
Janis

Well there are several things going on but I'll stick with the
installation/update of the FMServer. I have two hard drives.
Unfortunately, I just updated the 2nd hard drive to Leopard. It had
FMServer 9 on it. I never really used it so I'm not sure it was
configured right anyway but it worked and I could serve databases and
I could connect to them on my local network. I was trying to connect
from a remote location and got into this trouble. I thought IWP and
sharing didn't work because of Tiger. I read something about problems
with TIger.

The sequence of events; First I tried the 9.03 updater and I had an
error for the FM Server could not connect. Next I updated the OS. I
did an uninstall and tried the full 9.0.3ESD which is what I thought I
was supposed to do. Now I can't get the admin console to start? It
said to try to download it by using the XXX.XX.XX.XX:16000 url in
the browser. When I do that it says it can not connect to download
the java applet. Is this an OS 10.5 issue because of Java or is that
only for Windows?

The docs say I have to open ports 80, 5003, 16000, 16001, 16016,
16018, 2399. Since I have Leopard it comes with no firewall turned
on. Do I open these ports on the router or is it talking about
opening the firewall on Personal WEb Sharing? I'm not sure about
where the ports are and how the get opened.

Thanks,
Janis

This is an issue I have a lot to time into!! For Server 9 your java cannot
be better than version 7. If you uninstall Java and reinstall version 7
your console will magically work perfect.
