Addon Licence and development servers
Permalink
Hi all,
Quick question. We have a site we're developing at the moment, the old site is currently live. We want to update c5 / addons on our development server, then when ready replace old for new.
I can't see how this is achieved easily?
Also if we upgrade on the test server will it have any effect on the live?
thanks for looking

If you clone the online site onto the dev server (I use backup voodoo, other database dump and zip utilities can also be used), then it will stay connected to the same project in the marketplace.
If making a fresh install on the dev server, my usual solution is to copy the marketplace connection field on the config table using phpMyAdmin. Or you can just backup and copy the packages directory from the live server to the dev server. There are several other ways, but those are what I usually do.
When the new site is ready, I create another clone in a zip (backup, voodoo again), copy it to the online server, unzip it and replace the old site. I usually do this through an intermediary by setting it up in a subdomain and then flipping the domain pointers as in
