Unslaved Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I have a live version up and running (its due a few maintenance updates) but I want to create a test install as a back up. I have the backup database on a different sub domain but when you go through the install it recognizes that there is already an Invision Community Installed in that database and asks either to choose a different database or use a table prefix. So the question is how to I get the test install working with the backup database. Any help would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unslaved Posted June 1, 2023 Author Share Posted June 1, 2023 So just a quick update, found a post that explains what to do, so instead of a fresh install i created a copy of the production site and edited the conf_global.php to point to the correct URL database, user, password etc. Question is, where do i put the TESTINSTALL for the license, do I need that for a copy or would it run of the same primary license?

Marc Stridgen Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 In System>Settings>License key you would edit this and add your key with -TESTINSTALL at the end. With your license, you are allowed 1 live instance, and 1 test instance which must not be accessible to the public So for example. If your key was 123abc then your test key is 123abc-TESTINSTALLÂ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
