Perch development system
Hi
Having done some test developments with Perch over the last couple of months. I then added a clean install to start the development of the live site. At this stage I found I could no longer access my existing development site. I have now purchased another licence so that I may continue to run my "play area".
Questions.
The licence form requires a Live Domain to be completed. There will never be one attached to the development system licence shall I just make up a dummy entry?
My development system is on a local server on port 81 and my new install is on the same server on port 82. How do I fill in the licence form? xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:81?
Many thanks
Peter
The port shouldn't be specified in that case. I would just use xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx or localhost (depending on your setup).
As for the live domain, you can fill the same domain out twice if you wanted - taking it from either the development or staging domain you specified.
Thanks Philip
I still can't get in - user name and reset password still coming up as not correct. I have changed the licence number in the config file. Will have another look tomorrow and see if I can find what is wrong.
If it says the username and password are incorrect, that's what it means. Nothing to do with license activation.
Hi Drew
After I loaded the clean install I had 2 sites with the same licence key, user name and password. The new one let me in the old one did not. I now have 2 different licence key numbers and I have not changed the user name. I recreated the password this afternoon on the original site after I changed the licence key having purchased an additional licence.
Will investigate further tomorrow.
If the license is an issue you get a specific error message about that. You won't get an error telling you your username or password is wrong if it's a license key issue.
Just checked in the database. Oh dear VERY RED FACE! I think senility has set in - using the wrong user name. Been working on a couple of other systems in the last few days is my only excuse.
Thanks for the responses.
