[FX.php List] Can't connect with manually installed php on Windows 2008 Server

[Fitzgerald, Theodore C]

Jonathan,

You can use the following URL format to test if the XML portion of FileMaker's WPE is working (fx.php uses this behind the scenes):

http://<<server hostname or IP address here>>/fmi/xml/FMPXMLRESULT.xml?–db=<<database name here>>&–lay=<<layoutname here>>&–findall

Of you course, you'd want to use the address of your WPE server, and specify an appropriate database and layout.

Back to the original problem….

The Windows guy is going to restore the php functionality for the third time after the CWP deploy trashed it….twice.

Please remind me…what tests can I run to tell if I’m reaching FMS (the XML URL you mentioned) and to isolate the problem? As I mentioned, It’s been a long time since I worked under the hood with fx.php.

Thanks

Jonathan

When I first installed the system under FMS 11, all was good the Web Publishing side.  The Windows guy had to continue plugging security holes to pass the PCI scan.  His last step was to replace PHP because the PCI scan complained about the embedded PHP version inside FMS 11.
