So, i was following the routines found in https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/upgrade_testsite to put up an test environment to try out a solution for another issue.
In step 2 this text is found:
"Warning:
***DO NOT CLOSE YOUR BROWSER AFTER THE ABOVE STEP***"
The problem is that i was automatically logged off after i updated the URL:s. And i was not able to come back to the settings after the backup was generated.
So, the main site was broken i was not able to fix it. So, now im importing the backup from tonight and hopefully i get it working again.
I have created test sites before (in vBulletin 4.2.5) and that have worked. But something must have changed in the routines up to vBulletin 5.4.4.
Is this a common problem? Is the routines in the manual faulty? What is the correct wat to create a test site in vBulletin 5.4.4?
Additional info:
IIS 10
PHP 7.2.7
MySQL 5.7.20
vBulletin 5.4.4
Main forum is in root /
testvb in folder /testvb/
