Installing On Multiple Machines; Before You Begin - FileMaker Server 11 Getting Started Manual

Installing on multiple machines

For a multiple-machine deployment, you install FileMaker Server software on each machine. After the
software is installed on all of the machines, you use the Deployment assistant on the master machine to
configure your settings and specify which machines run which components. You do not use the Deployment
assistant on worker machines.
Important
Install the FileMaker Server software on the worker machines first and then on the master machine.

Before you begin

Do the following before installing FileMaker Server on multiple machines:
1
To enable web publishing, make sure the web server is enabled on the worker machine that has the web
server. See chapter 6, "Setting up the web server."
1
When running FileMaker Server in an environment that uses a firewall, be sure to configure the firewall on
each machine to allow FileMaker Server to use them. Restart each machine after configuring the firewall.
