On the server the actual path for the database is filemac: Hard Drive/Library/FileMaker Server/Data/Databases/myDatabase.fp7. The Charts folder is at the same level as the database folder (i.e. filemac: Hard Drive/Library/FileMaker Server/Data/Databases/Charts/. When I run the database locally, I can make my charts work appropriately. When I run from a client (even when the client is the same local computer) it says that it cannot find the FusionCharts Library file. I ran the FusionCharts Library initialize script so that it had the appropriate path including the IP address of the server. When I try to generate a graph, the pathname to the file is appropriate (i.e fmnet:/IP address here/FusionCharts.html, but I still don't see that graph. Are there server or sharing permissions I should be aware of? The help file gives nice information, but nothing about trouble shooting this. By the way, FileMaker Server Admin Server Console sees the files, so they are ready to be served! Any help is much appreciated!

Hi,
a. Place the swf, js and other engine files in a file server. ( Personal Web Sharing on the Mac or Personal Web Server/ Apache on Windows)
b. Upload FusionCharts Library.fp7 and FusionCharts Configuration Tool.fp7 ( optional, rquired on need basis ) to FileMaker Server.
c. Path to the FusionCharts.html needs to be given correctly.
This currentDir path should be something like http://Trial/Charts/.  I think this is where you are encountering the problem.
$$currentDir should contain the path to the Charts folder placed in the file server as per step (a).
You should be able to directly access the url like this: http://server's IP address/Charts/FusionCharts.html
Then the path is correct.
d. Path to the FusionCharts Library.fp7 from your database  on the server should be relative.
 
Hope this helps.:)
 
regards,
Srividya
Keep asking and keep getting more out of FusionCharts
