Guest Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Is there anyway to install and test add-ons without disturbing the main on-line site? I really dont like the idea of installing another osCommerce and naming it different just for testing. Any suggestions would be great.

morehawes Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Hi, Ideally you would make a copy of the store (i.e. files and database) either on another domain (or sub domain) or even better running on your local computer. You won't need to start from scratch - instead copy the files and copy the database and change the necessary details in the includes/configure.php admin/includes/configure.php files.

Guest Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Use xampp to setup a test server on home PC, do all testing there. http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
