FileMaker WebDirect settings

When you configure web publishing settings, Admin Console restarts the Web Publishing Engine. During this time, all web published databases are unavailable to web users.

Important  Change web publishing settings only when the Web Publishing Engine is not being used. Web publishing clients can lose unsaved work when the Web Publishing Engine restarts.

To enable FileMaker WebDirect:

  1. Click the Connectors > Web Publishing tab.

  2. Set FileMaker WebDirect to Enabled.

  3. Set Primary Machine to Running.

See FileMaker WebDirect Guide.

To set an Nginx Load Balancer URL:

  1. Click the Connectors > Web Publishing tab.

  2. Enter an Nginx Load Balancer URL.

Note  The Nginx Load Balancer URL setting is only available for FileMaker Server on Linux. You must also have a configured Nginx load balancer.
