I might be wrong but from memory I think Courier will accept a single subdomain eg site1.local but not a nested subdomain like site1.thezenagency.local
Yeah, I think it's the way this box has been configured - when I created http://site1.local/ it dropped it into the local directory but appended the name
After some help from the core team, turns out I hadn't set the license up correctly.
Just in case anyone else gets similar issues, make sure you have the local and dev domains in when setting up and purchasing the license - will save you and the core guys hassle later on!
Courier setup with iis site
First time I'm using Courier and I'm getting a license issue.
I have a local site set up in IIS and DNS, lets call it http://site1/
I also have a staging site let's call it http://site1.zenagency.com/
I've installed courier on http://site1.zenagency.com and chosen the corresponding licence and all is well.
However, when I try to use the same license on http://site1/ I am being told the license is invalid.
I don't believe I need a separate license for this, but could it be that courier is expecting localhost ?
Any help much appreciated
I think you need to set it up as site1.local on localhost
That's what I was thinking
bugger!
Courier will work with subdomains.
We use:
dev.company.com
staging.company.com
live.company.com
but site1/ is local, not on my machine but on a dev box in the office
Do I need to take a copy on my machine and then can call it localhost?
Sorry Matt, don't follow :(
http://site1/ is on the dev box in the office
http://site1.zenagency.com is on the live box
I'm trying to merge changes from dev to live
My explanation above assumes that your PC is on the same local network as the dev box.
Basically you just need to find a way of accessing the site under a '.local' address
Now getting the error
Courier is running in Trial Mode, you can therefore not connect to the repository 'site1.thezenagency.co.uk', which is not on this local machine
This is after re-installing courier on the local site with the correct host http://site1.zenagency.local

I may have to reconfigure the DNS I think
Figured out that the express license only covers same server transfers
