Trying to convert my FMServer over to Linux, so i've downloaded the .tar file from your site. I'm running into a bit of a problem though. Chapter 2 in the manual says to just install the .rpm file, but there isn't a .rpm file in the .tar. Is this just a glitch in the naming of the file within the .tar file? Can I just rename it? I'm untarring it with WinRar on my WinXP machine to verify the file. If I don't just rename the file with the right extension then I need to find out how to get the Linux version of FMServer.
I have downloaded the tar file several times with IE, Mozilla, and Firefox and each time get the same problem. Once I download the file then upload it to my server I try to untar it and get a message that it is not a valid tar file. I'm beggining to thing the tar file you have on the server has some how gotten corrupted.
for some odd reason -xzvf worked but -xvf doesn't.... I have fun into another problem though. I'm running Fedora Cor 1 and am having problems. When I install my rpm file all seems to be well until I run the fms_registration command. Then I get the following error message. ----- Incorrectly built binary which accesses errno or h_errno directly. Needs to be fixed. fms_registration: relocation error: fms_registration: symbol __on_exit, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
found an easy solution to get it to run on Fedora Core 1 at http://www.giggo.de/publications/fmserver_redhat.html now when i move my database over do i just move my .fp5 files or everything under the Optigold folder on my Windows server?
wow.....this is SO much faster....thanks for all the help shawn...can't wait to see the new mysql/php version when it comes out
