[FX.php List] Upgrading server to FM12 - what steps for FX.php

[Bob Patin]

David,

I’ve moved a few web apps to FileMaker 12 and found it to be totally simple: in your server_data file, change the filename so that it’s “database.fmp12” instead of “database.fp7.” That was the *only* thing I changed and everything worked from the start.

Best,

Bob Patin
