Initially I had some trouble getting Contour to work on the live server, where Courier was installed as well. After trying this and that to get Contour to work, I uninstalled and reinstalled Contour...which seemed to solve the Contour issues. 

Now Courier is not working whatsoever. It was working fine before, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Courier to no avail. Courier does not even show up in the backoffice, even though reinstall occurred without errors. All this was done with the admin account.

When I try to push content from the staging site via Courier, I first got the "Object Moved" error. Now I am getting the "admin does not have access to courier" error. Not sure what the heck is going on at this point. Any advice would be really appreciated.

This all seems to stem from trying to get Contour to run on the live site.
