Configuring FileMaker Server 13/14 and Lasso 9

FileMaker Server 13/14 installs and uses its own Apache installation. To allow Lasso 9 pages to be served via FileMaker's Apache, follow these steps (in sequence!):

1. Install FileMaker Server 13 or 14
2. Install Lasso 9
3. in Terminal, stop the built-in Apache started by the Lasso installer:
   • sudo apachectl stop
4. Edit /Library/FileMaker Server/HTTPServer/conf/httpd.conf and add this line:
   • Include '/etc/apache2/other/mod_lasso9.conf'
5. in Terminal, run these commands: 
   • sudo ln -s /usr/libexec /Library/FileMaker\ Server/HTTPServer/libexec
   • sudo ln -s /usr/local /Library/FileMaker\ Server/HTTPServer/local
6. Stop all FileMaker processes and check that no `httpd` processes are running:
   • sudo launchctl stop com.filemaker.fms
7. Restart FileMaker processes:
   • sudo launchctl start com.filemaker.fms

Lasso9 can then be loaded: http://localhost:8090/lasso9/lux
FileMaker WPE can also be accessed: http://localhost/fmi/xml/FMPXMLRESULT.xml?-dbnames
