[FX.php List] [OFF sort of] Shifting from 8.5 to 9 gradually

[Troy Meyers]

Thanks Roger, I guess it's not too much of a leap to install FMP 9 on the workstations too, if it all works with Server 8 Advanced. That way I won't have to hold back using new design features.

I guess I'm kind of waiting to make sure there isn't fallout reported about switching from Server 8 Advanced to Server 9 Advanced regarding PHP trouble or other configuration troubles. We only have one machine for both the FileMaker server and the web serving... which I think someone said is no longer recommended. I'd like to keep it on one if I could, when I'm brave enough to switch. I just dread having hours or days that the site doesn't work because of the switch.
