    duplicating live site

    I'm having trouble with duplicating my live site to a test site so I can make my upgrades there. I did ask vbseo last year to add a license for my test site so that should be fine.

    My problem is this. When I go to test.mysite.com/forum I'm redirected to this.
    http://www.mysite.com/forum//home/my...tml/test/forum

    I can see the index page at test.mysite.com and when I use the url for the admincp It then takes me to the admincp of my live site.

    Thank you for your help!

    Hello,

    your test license is still valid. MAke sure your vboptions -> site url are set correctly.
    Also, your htaccess content.

    Check this thread: Add www to forum url with no trailing slash
    you may need to include the /forums in there as well.

    Hi,

    This is the rule i have set up on my test site. Would I need to change anything on my live site? Oh.. I can't access the admincp for the testsite to change the url.

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !test\.mysite\.com
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} forum/
    RewriteRule (.*) http://test.mysite.com/forum [L,R=301]

    If your live site is working, there's no need to change it.

    If you can't get into the admincp, you will need to try disabling all hooks in the vb config.php file, and if that still doesn't work, editing the datastore variable for the siteurl directly via phpmyadmin, etc.

    Sorry Brain I didn't make myself to clear. I'm not having a problem with my live site. Which is the public site. The problem is with my testing site.

    I can see this page, test.mysite.com but when I goto test.mysite.com/forum it goes to a page not found with the following url.
    http://www.mysite.com/forum//home/my...tml/test/forum

    Thank you

    Is your subdomain set up correctly? it looks like it may be pointing to the wrong folder.
