SJ77 Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 I have an OFFLINE WAMP stack and wish to use IPB locally to play around with things. I am doing this instead of playing with things on my live site. Surely this is allowed for development purposes but I can't get it to install since it's OFFLINE and as a result cannot verify the Licence key. anyone know how to make this work?
TAMAN Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 add -TESTINSTALL to the end of your Licence key
SJ77 Posted February 3, 2016 Author Posted February 3, 2016 BOOM, I new there was some trick Thank you spoke too soon... doesn't work still
SJ77 Posted February 3, 2016 Author Posted February 3, 2016 I think it's still trying to check online for validation.

TAMAN Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 make another fresh copy of the files and install it when it asks for the Licence key you add your Licence key like this 1234567890-12345-12345-1234567890-TESTINSTALL

It then tries to validate it online.. But like I said this is an offline server. Any way around this?
TAMAN Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 uh sorry i misunderstood, no you must connect to internet cant install without verifying a Licence key connect to internet for a couple seconds then there is no problem shutting it down after the installation
SJ77 Posted February 4, 2016 Author Posted February 4, 2016 It's behind a wall, nothing gets in or out.
TAMAN Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 well in this case you can install a installed suite xD for example download all your website files put it in flash or whatever and paste it in the offline server you have download your website database and import, you will have your website ready and its already installed no need to verify the key or whatever not really hard
Dean_ Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 I was going to mention that, make a complete copy of the site and then add the testinstall at the end and it should work no issues.
