How to set up a test site –Best Practices? 

I would like to set  up a testing site so I can deploy new goodies without exposing my sensitive parts ...

Kinda like going to a party and forgetting your pants. In retrospect I suppose that could be interesting provided it was the right kinda party.

At any rate, I am thinking, export the database, import into new database, then copy all of the files and adjust the connection string in the web.config to the new db.

Of course, this isn't working for me ...

Suggestions?

Best Regards, KnuckleHead http://myinternetfunnies.com

Re: How to set up a test site –Best Practices? 

I have a set of two tutorials that discuss backing up and restoring DNN sites, that should get you going.

The key is to remember to modify the PortalAlias table to include a reference to your new URL.
