test site for upgrades

[sash]

Got further, I can access admin on test site , but if i type in the url of the test site, it gives me a 404 page not found message?

I added the test site url into ht.access to see if it would help, but it didnt??

Edit above, I can access the test site, but if i click on a category it become a 404 not found,

Plus i'm supposed to password protected and that doesn't work, I just get straight through.

The site shows up just fine,it's only if i click on any category i get the "Custom" 404 page, not the typical google 404 error page,??

Where in my instructions do I say you need to mess about with htaccess?

If your TEST site does not work, then you have not followed my instructions... and it is possible that if you continue, you could end up messing up your LIVE site.

Follow my instructions. There should be no 404 errors, no htaccess tweaks...

If you get errors, then you have not followed my instructions

Hi, I did follow the instructions, everything works, as in the admin, url to the test site, It's just that small error somewhere, I just added the testsites url to the ht.access to see if it would help, (But it didnt) so i took it out,

did you figure it out - perhaps a wrong path in the configure files?
