XF 1.2 Test Install Setup

[phaze3131]

Hey guys,

Can someone please help me with a step by step test install of 1.2 for idiots?

I will try to test install 1.2 first before updating my live site.

So I need help how to set it up, password protect, import my existing live theme and test my addons for compatibility.

A step by step guide for idiots.

That's an upgrade to 1.2 guide. Not an install guide, but definitely useful to use when upgrading to 1.2. Meh. Ignore that.

The op wants to test upgrading their live site but the proposed method is incorrect.

They should replicate their site on localhost and upgrade that to 1.2, using the guide linked to above.

Ah, right. Yeah, I mis understood.

@Brogan, yes that's what I want to do. Thanks!

Can you help me how? I think I saw a resource about that before.

Copy the current site files and database to localhost.

Then upgrade to 1.2 using the sticky thread as a guide.
