Guest Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Currently have a live site and am in the process of installing new payment mods etc that will need thorough testing before going "live" Is it better/easier/more efficient to build a protected 'test' folder (ie shop.com/test/) or use a subdomain (ie test.shop.com ..) for a "test site"- either way I know I'll need to build test versions of configuration tables, configure.php etc ? Suggestions on best approach ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seank123 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 All I did was add another folder - called test and a new database (also called test). Once you have the new database set up export your live site database and import it into the new database, all you then need to do is copy the site files into the new folder and change the 2 config.php files.

I would go with the subdomain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
