Suite Creating a test site
 

Hi there,

I'm currently running version 4.0 PL1 and am looking to upgrade to the latest version of 4.0.2 PL3 but before I do this, I would like to setup a test site (identical to my production site) though using a different database so that any changes I make playing around won't update in my production environment.

Now I've created my test database, exported production and imported it into test. I then took a copy of all my production files and put them under a 'test' folder location on my hosts server. Both test and prod are working though when I make changes in test, the changes are filtering through to my test db as well.

Before anyone says anything, I have updated my config file to point to the my test database and made some changes in "admincp > Site Name / URL / Contact Details" though this doesn't seem to have helped me.

Is there something I'm missing? Does anyone have a guide on the best way to create a test database while production is setup on the same host? Do I need to run the install or update script?

Any help would be greatly appreciated people.

Cheers,
Matt
