    Domain Names

    Hi guys,

    This is the first time of using Contour so apologies if this is a very simple answer, but I am setting Contour up and when it asks for a domain - I have my site on a local server (say under http://mytestsite/) and when this is goes live this will be put on an external server with a different domain (say http://www.anothersite.com). My question is, in the domain name should I put my test domian name? And then when this is to go live, is it simple enough to change the domain name to the new one? Or should I change the local server domain to be the same as the domain it will be going too on the external server?

    Not sure how this works, but thanks in advance.

    Jason

    Hi Jason,

    Contour should work fully when runnin localy, but when buying a license you can configure 3 domains

    1 live so wheremysitewillbe.com and 2 dev domains mydevenv.com and companydev.com

    It will work on the domains and all subdomains of those :)

    Hope that answers your question

    Excellent, cheers Tim. I've bought the license, just wanted to be sure before I configured it.

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    Ok also note that once configured you can't change it anymore

    Tim, 

    So when I have this section, it only asks me for one domain, where will I be able to set up the other 2 domains? Or does that come later?

    You can do that from your profile on umbraco.com

    Tim, 

    I have another question about the domain names, I've set up two development domains and a production domain. The domain that I've set up for one of the developments is glengarioch/ - whenever I try and add this in Contour section of Umbraco it say it has now been set up but then when I go to the form it tell me I am still running in trial mode. Is there something I have done wrong here?

    Might be because of the / how does the request look like, what do you have in the addressbar?

    My address bar looks like http://glengarioch/ - I am presuming this would be the problem?

    Yeah must be the slash I've updated your license and the related account should have gotten an email with the new license so just place this in your bin directory :)

    Let me know if that works!
