Hi Gurus

I use a .lic file extension on my license file. Seems to make sense. The Host has to go to Host Settings>AdvancedSettings>OtherSettings to add lic to the list of available file extensions. Then Admin adds the .lic file to the Portal Root via File Manager. It worked up to 4.9.1. Now under 5.0, while it looks as though the .lic file extension is added, Admin gets the message:

And returning to the Host Settings lic is no longer there.

Is this a bug or a feature? Should I log it?

Kind regards

Geoffrey

Hi JK

I think we have a misunderstanding. My problem is that 5.0 Host Settings says that it has allowed .lic files (after I have added .lic to the end of the list) BUT I still get the error message that they are disallowed when I then try to upload a .lic file via File Manager! Try it.

Kind regards

Hi Alex

I have found the problem and, of course, it is in the detals (where the devil lurks!).

I am testing 5.0 on a Vista machine and following Mitchell Sellars installation instructions which has you skipping the installation wizard by entering

http://localhost/[your site]/install/install.aspx?mode=install

in the URL line.

This creates a site with the Host Email address support@localhost but NOT support@localhost.com. To add the .lic extension you need to scroll way down the screen to Other Settings and when you click Update at the bottom you don't see that the Email has kicked out a validation error. So the lic extension never gets added. Part of the confusion coming because clicking Update doesn't take you to another page.

Thank you for your trouble in answering. Maybe it is a point that should be noted - or tell Mitchell to change his instructions to note the need to correct the email address. I don't know. Something like that because if it is possible to make  a dumb mistake, people will. As I have just shown!

Kind regards

Geoffrey
