no completely separate in every sense this is a sandboxed environment so it doesn't touch this one at all, ive been wanted a development site for ages as i can test all my changes there before i stage them into production. It's standard practice and what i do at the university

hence why its on a test forum mike and not on this one, ill continue to suck eggs huh :D and im fully aware of the issues ive spent the last month fixing them cheers this is the test one you can see the huge difference between this one and that one...

no you can play with it too

for upgrades, its not wise to run upgrades on a live site without testing, this way we can test new versions of the software without any danger to the main site. measure twice cut once

ok i think i may change the DB provider will see how it goes.

odd not seeing any errors in the logs either

oo thats strange i never got a notification.. ill check the logs

Computer fairs them were the days! It's too easy now no jumpers to configure so anyone can do it. Killed the market haven't built a pc to sell for years now

Haha too true! Though I'm dual running between two servers now with one being cloud based so I can relax a little now

Assume there are no more issues so I can retire for a while

cheers! :)
