Apache error : caught SIGTERM, shutting down FileMakerPro Server Advanced

Installed mac OS X Server 10.4.7 onto Mac Mini 1.66 Ghz Intel Core Duo
updated to 10.4.8 repaired disk permissions restarted
start web services - open browsers - view web sites - OK
install Filemaker Pro Server 8 - host databases
web services working well
install Filemaker Server Advanced 8 (Web Publishing Engine) = restart
no web services
error log = [Tue Mar 13 12:32:18 2007] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down

this configuration works perfectly on a G4 with seemless integration
all software is universal
any ideas would be greatfully received

Mac mini 1.66 Mac OS X Server, Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Quoted from the Filemaker web site:

"We do not support FileMaker Server 8 on Rosetta."

Basically, they are saying that they do not support the server product running on an Intel Mac.

Mac OS X Server 10.4.7 Is a Universal product
Mac OS Server is advertised as working on an Intel or G% / G4 processor

Any thoughts anyone

FMPro Server 8.0v4 is Universal. Are you running v4

Run <pre>sudo apachectl configtest</pre>

to make sure FM didn't screw up Apache

I have them working on the same machine. My suggestion is to run the command WHILE FIleMaker is installed and Apache isn't working.

Looks like an issue with mod_jk...

Check to make sure the Apache module it's looking for is actually present at /usr/libexec/httpd/mod jkfm.so

Then, I'd check to make sure you don't have a conflict with the standard Apache mod_jk. Go to ServerAdmin, Web, Settings, Modules and see if the mod_jk module is checked? Maybe also look for the mod jkfm there as well. If the non-fm one is enabled, try disabling it, and run configtest again.

/usr/libexec/httpd/mod jkfm.so = this is present

the jk_module wasn't checked = so ±I checked it, saved and attempted to start services = but no go 😟

and I could not see the mod jkfm within the modules

I cant be the only person to have come across this... would you recommend posting the message with another forum or reposting with a different heading ?

Thanks for your help by the way

You don't need the Apple mod_jk and the FileMaker one should not be visible, so everything there appears to be in order.

Your problem is with the FM included mod jkfm plugin. Are you SURE you're running FileMaker Pro Server Advanced 8.0v4? (the v4 is the important bit!)

The only place that I personally look to for FileMaker assistance is the FSA Talk mailing list. FSA = FIleMaker Solutions Alliance and it's a paid membership.

just did a get info on the FMSA installer and it reads version 8.4

launched the installer and did a customer install and looked deeper and the version is v8.01

this must be the problem as it works perfectly well on a G4

Thanks for your help and time
