Thread: Staging Environment

Are there any issues to be aware of setting up a staging environment on the same server as the production enviornment.

Ideally this would be on a separate server, but in our situation putting both a staging environment and production environment on the save server works best.

Obviously, the database will be named differently. And the web site will be configured on a different IP/URL.

We will use this technique to test store featues before putting them in production.

We may use this technique to stage AspDotNetStoreFront version upgrades to test before going live with them.

Just truing to head off potential problems with this setup before we proceed with it.

Thanks in advance!

It should not be a problem unless your traffic volume is really high and the production site needs all the resources it can get.

Make sure you use a separate Application Pool for each.
