Well, it's *sort of* a 1-machine install, in that the web server is on  
a 2nd machine.

So if I'm hearing you right, to do what they want to do, they need to  
have a web server running on their FM machine... I spoke to their tech  
yesterday, and he said he could put a web server there, and then re- 
install FMSA and do a single-machine install for me, which puts PHP  
and does all the proper connecting.

Sounds like, from what you're saying, that since the FMSA machine  
needs a web server *anyway,* we might as well use it for the web app,  
since this app will only be used during their convention, for about a  
week or so.

Am I hearing you right that the FMSA machine needs to have a web  
server running on it, whether it's used or not?

Thanks,

BP
