[FX.php List] GET vs. POST in a web app

[Bob Patin]

I'm not sure what that means; server_data.php specifies the location  
of the WPE install.

I already switched everything; I had to first remove the WPE  
connection from FM Admin; then I went into the Admin Console on WPE  
#1, deleted the IP address, username, and password. Still FM Server  
seemed to be holding on to WPE #1. So I quit FM Server and restarted  
it, and it then saw WPE #2.

After reconfiguring the DNS for all the sites, I was up and running;  
it was a faiirly long process (2 hours), but it's working fine now.

Gjermund, I'm not sure what you mean by server_data.php on WPE #2;  
server_data.php is in each website, not in WPE. So I went through  
each website (on the new server) and changed the IP address in  
server_data.php.

There is NO way to have 2 running copies of WPE on 2 separate  
machines, both connecting to ONE FMSA machine. Can't be done. I  
called FileMaker Inc.; if you figure out how to do it, I'd love to  
know what you do...

You'll have to do the same thing I did; I puzzled over this for a  
week, and there just is no other way.

But it's working great now, and much faster.
