.pkg for Running FileMaker Server 5.5 at System Startup

[Cabbage]

[quote:da8bae4b92]As anyone who has installed FileMaker Server 5.5 on Mac OS X knows, the ability to have the server startup automatically on login or boot is missing. The documentation states that an alias of the FileMaker Server Config application placed in a user’s StartupItems folder will launch the server. Not true. The Config application will launch but someone must be present to click the “Start Server” button. Tedious and unnecessary. Fortunately, if you’ve installed FileMaker Server for Red Hat Linux, you know that it is indeed possible. Following is the procedure for Mac OS X[/quote:da8bae4b92]

I created a package with the help of Joel Rennich that replaces this article.

You can download the package here

I’ve run it on a few different Mac’s and it seems to work. If anyone has any problems let me know.

I’ve found that FileMaker Config.app with appear to not be running if you log in as a user on your Network domain. However, it will in fact be running. The FileMaker Config.app is lying to you. I think this is a bug with FileMaker and not the package. It has worked as expected when logging in as someone on the local domain.
