[Macpartners] FileMaker Pro 9 on Leopard Server

[Allan Doyle]

Thanks - I just tried installing on Leopard on my iMac (non-server)  
and it works. I do have Apache turned on on the server, but that was  
clearly not enough. I had somehow thought that it was just FM Server 9  
that didn't work on Leopard Server. I guess I'll run it on my iMac  
until I can move it to my server.
