XF 2.1 Strange message

[Abraham54]

I upgraded my forum to XF 2.1

This message appears: The Board URL option does not match the site URL configured for your license.

That is strange - it still is the same addres I use since 2016.

What exactly do you have set as the "Board URL" option under Options > Basic board information?

 

[Abraham54]

Hello Chris, XF 2.1 has the same settings as XF 2.0 had.

 

[Chris D]

This is a new feature in XF 2.1 so that certainly makes sense. But to know how to resolve it, I'll need to know the board URL as it is written in the option I mentioned above.

Same message at my testing site, iam use a subdomain from my live site.

Hello Chris, when I bought XenForo, my site url was this: http://piepcomp.nl

Already for a few years it is now https://piepcomp.nl

And last year I upgraded my license from http://piepcomp.nl to https://piepcomp.nl

 

[Chris D]

That makes sense then. I suspect your board URL option is as you've said above, e.g. https://piepcomp.nl. We only actually compare the bit after the https:// so it wouldn't detect a difference with http and https anyway.

But your license is set to https://www.piepcomp.nl. The www. is significant here. I've edited that. If you run the upgrade check (Under Tools > Check for upgrade) again, it should remove the message.

Thanks Chris.

Your version of XenForo and official add-ons are fully up-to-date. No issues were identified with your license.

This happened to me as well, I've never touched those settings since the start. I had to go in and change it back. This happened after I upgraded to 2.1 Beta 6

Same happened to me when I upgraded from xf 2.0 to xf 2.1. The board url is https://nationaalcomputerforum.nl and the licence is also https://nationaalcomputerforum.nl. However I still get the message 'The Board URL option does not match the site URL configured for your licence.

 

[Chris D]

We've tracked this down.

It appears as though that on nationaalcomputerforum.nl you are using the XF files from a different license. You need to log in to the correct customer account for the nationaalcomputerforum.nl license, download the correct files for your license and then re-upload those files.

 

[dekort]

Thanks. We are going to work on it. But probably a stupid question. Is it harmfull to get this message ?

 

[Chris D]

Well, it kind of implies that you might be breaking the license agreement which could lead to the revocation of your license.

That said, we can see that's not the case here.

Though bear in mind if you are using the files from a different license and they have different product/add-on entitlements and different expiry dates then that could lead to some tricky situations.

So, no, not harmful right now, but it could be. We'd highly recommend using the correct files for the correct license.

 

[dekort]

Clear. Thanks

Hello Chris, I deleted the internal_data/install-lock.php and thereafter re-upgraded with the upgrade files received from dekort.
But it was to no avail - still Admin shows The Board URL option does not match the site URL configured for your license.

What to do next?

 

[Paul B]

Did you run a new check after making the changes?

 

[Abraham54]

Hello Brogan - yes I did, but nothing has changed in Admin, the warning is still present.

 

[Chris D]

Which forum is the warning still displaying on?

 

[Abraham54]

The forum of dekort, Nationaal Computer Forum - I am his admin.

 

[Paul B]

What is the URL or who is the forum member so we can identify the license.
