Deploying FileMaker Server across multiple

machines

FileMaker Server allows you to deploy its components on multiple machines to improve overall

performance. In many environments, a single-machine deployment provides sufficient

performance for web publishing. However, if FileMaker

Server will be used frequently by internet

clients accessing data with FileMaker

WebDirect, XML, or PHP, then you can deploy the

components of FileMaker

Server across two machines.

You can first deploy FileMaker Server on one machine. If the web publishing load increases, you

can change your initial deployment to improve FileMaker

Server’s performance.

Note If you’re not using web publishing, you don’t gain performance improvements from a

multiple-machine deployment.

Deployment alternatives

The diagram below shows the major components of FileMaker Server. You can deploy them all on

one machine or across two machines. The operating systems of the machines can be all

Windows, all OS

X, or a combination of the two.

FileMaker Server uses the following components:

1 Web Server: in Windows, FileMaker Server requires Internet Information Services (IIS), which

will be enabled when you install FileMaker

Server. In OS X, FileMaker Server uses its own

instance of the Apache web server, so you do not need to enable the Apache instance that is

installed as part of OS

1 Web Server Module: this FileMaker Server software component is installed on the web server

host machine. The Web Server Module enables the Web Publishing Engine to connect to the

web server.

1 Web Publishing Engine: provides the Custom Web Publishing services and the

FileMaker

WebDirect services for databases hosted by FileMaker Server.

1 PHP Engine: for Custom Web Publishing with PHP, FileMaker Server requires a PHP engine

to respond to requests from the web server and to process PHP code. FileMaker

Server

includes a PHP engine and the FileMaker API for PHP. When PHP code calls the FileMaker

API for PHP, those calls are interpreted and sent to the Web Publishing Engine.
