Troubleshooting

Here are a few important things to consider if you are having trouble running X-Courier Client:

• Your system time must be set correctly for X-Courier Client to function.
• X-Courier downloads its files via a remote http server (port 80). It must be able to contact this website without interference from firewalls, proxy servers, and other security programs running on your network.
• The user interface provided is running on a localhost web server that is hosted on port 8080 by default. This port can be changed if there is a conflict with existing software. In order to access the web interface, ensure no local firewall software is blocking access to localhost:8080.
