We've recently purchased some Umbraco Pro licenses and I have installed the packages for Courier and Concierge on an VM snapshot of our web server. I've edited the courier.config file with the ip address for our other website, but when I click on the "Transfer to Live" option on the menu for one of the content nodes, I see "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" within a modal dialog.
If I look at the trace for the site, I can see umbraco is trying to send a 302 redirect response, but I cannot see where it is trying to redirect to.
I had issues with Courier at the start. Are you using IPs / local host when browsing Umbraco and using courier? You need to use your sub domains... staging.myumbraco.org live.myumbraco.org. Feel free to edit the hosts files on your servers to do this. It's worth testing that you can access staging.myumbraco.org from the live box and vice versa in a browser too.
Might be teaching you how to suck eggs but your hosts file can be found in the location below... you'll only need to do this if your servers can't resolve the subdomain addresses (e.g. you haven't set up your nameservers and subdomains yet / correctly).
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts edit it in a text editor and add (changing IP and domain as appropriate)
192.168.1.1 staging.mydomain.com
on the live and vice versa on your staging.
Of course all of hte servers must have port 80 access to one another (hence the testing in the browser first)
Looking at the licensing is on the top of my list as I really think that the license system we use (XHEO) causes more problems for our clients than good is.
But excellent idea to state this in the docs - I'll look into it when I return from vacation!
Problems using Courier
Hi,
We've recently purchased some Umbraco Pro licenses and I have installed the packages for Courier and Concierge on an VM snapshot of our web server. I've edited the courier.config file with the ip address for our other website, but when I click on the "Transfer to Live" option on the menu for one of the content nodes, I see "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" within a modal dialog.
If I look at the trace for the site, I can see umbraco is trying to send a 302 redirect response, but I cannot see where it is trying to redirect to.
Can anyone help?
Many Thanks
Chris Pont

Perfect! I tried using IP addresses and localhost in courier.config but I guess it only likes using hostnames.
Thanks for your help!
This is a licensing restriction. Makes sense when you think about it... but I think the documentation should be a little clearer!
Good luck with it.
