Same thing happens with a brand new created course.
I've also tried http://admin.edx.domain.com/maintenance/force_publish_course it but nothing changes.

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to report this.

As per my previous recommendation, did you update the openedx-docker repo? The CMS was initially pointing to a different Mongodb collection than the LMS, making the courses created by the CMS unfindable by the LMS. You need to update the repo and then create a new course.

Did you log in to a user account in the LMS ? Anonymous users do not have the permission to view "about" pages of newly created courses.

Hi Régis,
I did all of that, I've rm -rf data/* , updated the repo with your last commit (189ea3e) and then make all .
Same result, I always receive a 404 page, no matter if I create a new project or I import the demo one.
I've tried the Force Publish functionality but with no success.

It seems to work if I add the user created on LMS as Staff on the project.

Some help would be really appreciated.
Best regards,
Alin

1. Can you confirm you were logged in with a staff account in the LMS?
2. Did you try creating a course in the CMS? Can you then see its "about" page in the LMS?

Hi @alincalinciuc, did you manage to solve this problem?

from tutor.

Hi, I have the same issue. It works with staff user, but not with the unregistered user

I found a solution here

I am currently investigating this issue, but it's really difficult to diagnose. It seems the bug lies deep inside the modulestore, which is a thorny part of the codebase.
@dannielarriola : I am pretty sure the solution you proposed (changing PREVIEW_LMS_BASE) does not work.
@alincalinciuc : "It seems to work if I add the user created on LMS as Staff on the project." Can you explain what you did exactly?

from tutor.

Hi @regisb
Why you say that not work?. Maybe isn't the main problem but it's work perfectly.
See this and this. The fist one does not work, and the second with de PREVIEW_LMS_BASE change works great.
Sorry for my english

from tutor.

@dannielarriola you were absolutely right! in the latest release I changed the default preview path to preview.LMS_BASE. Thanks a lot for the tip!
