how to do vbulletin test site?
 

from the vbulletin manual, is says that we can do vbulletin test site.

How can I legally do a vbulletin test site?

can I install the real vbulletin at domain1.com, and try the test site at domain2.com?

I need to integrate vbdrupal but don't want to disturb the real vbulletin board

you can't test vB on a different test... if you read the docs, you will find that you can create a test site within your own installation inside a directory named "vbtest" and secure it with a htaccess password...

I think you have to do it on the same domain. I would suggest creating a new folder named test.

Then upload the vbulletin again into this test folder and also the vbdrupal to go with it.

Thanks, Paul.

You will find a fairly good description of how to create a testvb set up, with a copy of your database here:

It's not the only way to do it, but it is a good description of one way that will work.

You can find information on how to .htaccess protect your testvb folder on these sites:
