As part of plans to be able to work remotely on our <br>
collection's database, we just upgraded to FMS 18, which also <br>
necessitated an upgrade to Mac OS Catalina. The problem is that FMS 18 <br>
will evidently not install on Catalina, and instead gives warnings that <br>
it cannot install while Apache is running. After literally hours on the <br>
phone with both technical help from Claris and from Apple, neither party <br>
has an answer that allows for a proper installation. A few hits online <br>
indicated that this is a known bug, and not unique to this version of <br>
either FMS or of the Mac OS, but did not give clear solutions.<br>
<br>
e.g.:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://community.filemaker.com/en/s/question/0D50H00006qwaSg/i-cant-install-fms-18-before-the-installation-even-starts-i-receive-an-error-message-titled-apache-is-running" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://community.filemaker.com/en/s/question/0D50H00006qwaSg/i-cant-install-fms-18-before-the-installation-even-starts-i-receive-an-error-message-titled-apache-is-running</a><br>
<br>
What I am hoping for is that some people in our community have <br>
encountered this exact problem, and found a reasonably practical <br>
solution to it, that they would be willing to share. I'm looking for <br>
*known* solutions at this point, not guesses and speculation; the <br>
putatively knowledgeable people at Claris and Apple had plenty of these, <br>
and none of their guesses panned out. What is especially baffling is <br>
that when I mentioned to them that there were online discussions <br>
regarding this bug, they both said they were prohibited by their <br>
respective employers from ever looking at public forums like these, so <br>
techs at both firms apparently live in almost complete ignorance of the <br>
end-user fallout from their bugs, even though these forums are <br>
ostensibly approved by the same firms.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help,<br>
