Lasso Studio - GoLive 6 - FileMaker 4.1, 5.0, 5.5
Hello Listees,
Its been a quiet list recently, but I just wanted to post the following...
I have completed a migration to OS X.1.3.
I have had a lot of success using GL6 with Lasso Studio for GL. On my Mac, Lasso web server is running great in Classic. I also have three versions of FileMaker, two that run in OS 9.2.2 very well, and FMP 5.5 that works well in OS X.
I have found that Lasso recognizes any of the databases without any problems. Even if the DB is in OS X, Lasso Web Server is able to find and integrate with the database. Taking a Snapshot of the database also works well in the cross - operating system configuration.
If you are migrating to OS X, don't be afraid. All functionality is working fine here. One thing that I have found that makes it easy to us OS X and Lasso web server is to not change your TCP/IP as you may have done in pre-OS X. As long as you have an IP address, Lasso web server is able to recognize the address. So, selecting the Lasso WDE folder as the root folder, in your OS 9 applications folder [if you have placed the app there], you can hit the Lasso home page by entering your IP Address - <http:////your.ip.address>. Once there you can set your privileges for the running databases.
There are some difficulties that I have had...
If I am not connected to the Internet - with an IP address that is dynamically created - while working in OS X, I do have difficulties opening the pre-OS X FileMaker Applications. They seem to bog down and freeze when they are configuring the TCP/IP. If I have a connection, they work fine. I think its something to do with the active ports in the network preference settings. I have tried without success changing those settings. Anyone else having success? Let me know.
Other then the problem in the previous paragraph. I am Extremely happy with the way Lasso, GL 6 and FMP run.
As things go.... I hope that Lasso Web Server will make the transition to OS X soon. -Please-
If you have any questions concerning your move to OS X feel free to email me. If you are in need of consulting to walk you through the transition, feel free to contact me at my office.
