[LON-CAPA-admin] Installing a machine for internal testing [was: Install error]

[Stefan Bisitz]

Hi,

Yes, to be able to clone/mirror your production server, use exactly the 
same domain name for your testing server. This is due to the internal 
path structure. Watch out for the same OS and architecture (32/64 bit).

Make sure that nobody else than you can log in, e.g. by adjusting the 
login module and excluding this module from cloning.

Others might want to add more details about this topic.
