I have a problem with FME Server 2018 with version 2018.1 - Build 18520 - win32

I installed fme server on windows 10 32-bit and I got the license but engines are not available.

I have tried many times to remove fme server and re-installing again but the same problem.

When I opened web interface I got those error messages as attached.

Hi @kseadawy

This is a known issue. FME Server is only supported on Windows 64bit, not 32bit. Our Technical Specifications page has been updated to reflect this.

 

 

As you've found out, what runs the job queue requires 64bit which is why this will not work on 32bit systems. The 32bit version you've found is an older version (3.0) than the 64 bit version that we are shipping (3.2). I am glad this working for you now, but should you run into any issue I would advise you to install on a 64bit system.

If you need access to a 32bit engine for FME Server, due to format restrictions, you can distribute your engines and install the 32bit version, but this needs to be on a 64bit OS. Different engine bit versions need to be on different machines.

Hi @jlutherthomas

 

I knew and I discovered the problem and I solved the problem.

 

I put it here for documentation.

 

I will send the solution very soon.

redis-windows-32bit-master.zip

The problem is that I installed FME server 2018.1 32 bit on windows 10 32-bit and after searching and investigation, I found that redis server "which is a component of FME server 32 bit" that is responsible for job queues works on windows 64 bit only.

So redis did not work and engines were not available although license is valid.

I have searched and I got redis version from internet that works on windows 32 bit and I replaced the folder of redis in fme server directory with new redis 32-bit version.

I made restart for windows and FME server worked well.

you can find redis directory in the default path C:\\Program Files\\FMEServer\\Utilities

attached version of redis 32-bit.
