Installation

Prerequisites

• A webserver (Apache >= 2.2, or IIS >= 7.0) with write access to the document directory.
• FileMaker Server 11 or above is required, but does not need to reside on the same machine as RESTfm.
• PHP version 5.3 or above.
• If running Apache, configure with AllowOverride All for the RESTfm directory so that .htaccess functions correctly.

Setup example suitable for OS X/Linux

cd /<your web doc dir>
git clone https://github.com/GoyaPtyLtd/RESTfm.git
cd RESTfm
cp RESTfm.ini.php.dist RESTfm.ini.php
cp .htaccess.dist .htaccess
cp -a FileMaker.dist FileMaker

• When setting up on IIS, also ensure web.config.dist is copied to web.config
• Use a browser to see if RESTfm needs further configuration: http://example.com/RESTfm/report.php
• Refer to the RESTfm manual for further configuration information: http://restfm.com/manual
