Suite From 3.8 to test system to live suite.
ByHello,
I am ready to upgrade but I would like to know if the following can be done.
1 - Copy the current 3.8.x install DB.
2 - Create a test environment from the 3.8.x DB snapshot while the 3.8.x forum remains activated.
3 - Set up the test environment, template, etc. and create all my CMS articles, etc.
4 - Testing successful, ready to go live
5 - Turn off the 3.8 install
- Is it then possible to inject the latest snapshot of the 3.8 DB (all the posts, threads, users, PMs, etc.) into my test install without losing all my settings, CMS articles, etc? If so, what is the process to do it?
Thanks in advance.
