I copy all the folders/files to the root then make a new DB and import the original into it and change all the DB and server paths in the [[root]] config.php...

This will give you 2 working CMSMS installs, V2 can be used for testing module upgrades, template changes, etc. so the live one doesn't get messed up if you make any mistakes etc...

I only use htaccess for pretty URLs, other wise the subfolder site is reached by thesite.com/subfolder...

Look in my signature for an example...

Hi Samalah,

A nice trick to have up my .htaccess sleeve just in case...

Thx for sharing!

What I do on CPanel hosts is to make a sym-link from public_html to ~/sites/V1 (V2, etc)

When I'm ready to go live, I direct my public_html link to point to the right version.
