How do I set up a staging / test copy of my store?
The proper way: (1) Copy all files to a subdomain (e.g., staging.example.com). (2) Create a new database and import a copy of your production database. (3) Update /config/parameters.php with the new database credentials. (4) In the database, update ps_shop_url and ps_configuration entries for domain and SSL to match the staging domain. (5) Clear the cache. This gives you an independent copy where you can test modules, updates, and changes without affecting your live store.
