Test Environment Behaving Strangely

[RedTurtle]

If you can do it, I'd recommend making your test site on a subdomain instead of on the same domain but in a sub-directory.

If your site is mysite.com, intead of doing mysite.com/test/ try doing test.mysite.com. You can add a subdomain easily in cPanel and then set it up there.

I've never had any issues doing it that way but I do remember running into some problems before when I would create it as a subdirectory on the main domain.
