Hello - I was wondering if there is a thread, Resource, or discussion anywhere here that covers how to set up a test forum step-by-step - and this would be on the server, not locally/PC because another admin will need access.
I did a search and looked in the Manual, and couldn't find such a guide, although I did find these somewhat helpful threads:

http://xenforo.com/community/threads/xenforos-handing-of-cookie-domains.15260/
http://xenforo.com/community/threads/upgrading-test-forum-locking-live-forum.32918/
I do have some questions on the process in case there is not such a thread. My understanding is that I need to:
Also, what is the shell command I need to use for the restore assuming I'm typing this into PuTTY and will have a separate database user (let's say it's frank476).
Any guidance appreciated.

I do have some questions on the process in case there is not such a thread. My understanding is that I need to:
- Set up new directory and copy all the forum files to it
- Create a new database for that directory in cPanel
- Take a copy of my existing/live database and restore it to this new database
- Change the cookie prefix
Also, what is the shell command I need to use for the restore assuming I'm typing this into PuTTY and will have a separate database user (let's say it's frank476).
