    Default How do I set up another test store without touching my live site?

    Hey, i'm trying to demo the new version. When I get to database setup...i put in my credentials. Do for the root username for the demo database is there a password? Or am I supposed to put in mine?

    Default Re: Demo new version

    Actually, what I am trying to say is how can I demo it with the default demo settings without hurting the online shop? The default demo settings aren't working.

    You need to create another database in your hosting control panel, and assign another user+password to it. Then you can use those credentials when running zc_install to set up your demo.
