If you want to update order status & state programmaticaly, you try this
$order->setStatus(Mage_Sales_Model_Order::STATE_COMPLETE); $order->setState(Mage_Sales_Model_Order::STATE_COMPLETE);
And you get this error :
The Order state 'complete' must not be set manually.
To fix it, use this :
$order->addStatusToHistory(Mage_Sales_Model_Order::STATE_COMPLETE, "Comments"); $order->setData('state', Mage_Sales_Model_Order::STATE_COMPLETE);
