Enjoy this article by Michael Petrov on how to use Apache Server on Windows!

Up until now, only IIS was the supported server to run the FileMaker Server Advanced Web Publishing
Engine. However, Apache is a very popular web server for both Windows and Mac platforms and
includes a lot of very interesting modules such as mod_rewrite - which are great to use with many
sites to make search engine friendly URLs. Previously using Apache and FileMaker on Windows required
running IIS for the web publishing engine and Apache as a separate process - with the help of this
tutorial, you can eliminate IIS from your system and use only Apache!

FileMaker has released FileMaker Pro 9.0v2 and FileMaker Pro 9.0v2 Advanced, available now via a downloadable update.

The 9.0v2 update provides compatibility with Mac OS X Leopard as described below, and other features, and is recommended for all users.

Here is a list of other fixes in the 9.0v2 update that developers will be most interested in:

Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard):
The application no longer crashes when creating files if the system language and region do not match.

General Fixes:
Mac OS X: Get(SystemVersion) now returns the correct version on Mac OS X operating systems ending with double digit revision numbers, i.e.
10.4.10.

The database consistency check initiated on launch will no longer incorrectly report that a database is damaged for some databases that can be opened and used without any problems.

Printing Fixes:
The update addresses issues which cause the application to crash when a page range is specified.

Relationships:
A relationship with a global field now returns all related records if the value of the other key is empty.

FileMaker Pro 9.0v2 and FileMaker Pro 9.0v2 Advanced Leopard update

Please note that this update does not fix issues with the FileMaker
Pro 9 Instant Web Publishing (IWP) feature running on Leopard. We
intend to make IWP compatible with Leopard in an update expected in
December 2007.

We expect to deliver a Leopard compatibility update for our Server
products in early 2008. FileMaker Server 9 and FileMaker Server 9
Advanced currently do not deploy properly on Leopard. In the meantime,
FileMaker Pro 9 and FileMaker Pro 9 Advanced clients running on
Leopard do work with FileMaker Server and Server Advanced running on
Tiger or earlier versions of Mac OS X.
