Hello everybody.
I'm currently running D7.0.6. I am planning an upgrade to 7.1. Since I heavily customized the framework for the current install, I will need to do the upgrade on a private server, look at the result and implement modules where needed instead of modifying the code directly (stupid me).
I'm planning on doing the following:
- setup new dedicated server
- setup same domain on that server
- copy site to that server
- change hostfile of development workstation to point the domain to the new server
- upgrade the site & apply modifications
- When finished, change DNS settings and make new server production.
I'm facing an issue though.
The current site is registered. Will moving the site to a new server (not production) make the site on the old server unregister? Or will they both be registered? How can I have the 2 sites (which use the same domain names) registered at the same time so I can work without the frustration of a nag message.
Thanks for your idea's
