I have a site with fairly extensive content. We were forced to go live in a rush and so I simply pointed the live domain name to the sandox site, and we were live.

The problem is now maintenance is a bear. I am afraid to make any significant changes to the site if they require latrge scale moves, introduction of new modules, etc. because I do not have an adequate sandbox to test things before editing the live site.

I see i n the forums going back to 2009 that this was never considered in the design of DNN. Is there an update? DO the new versions adequately address a development environment that then goes live?

Thank you.

you can easily create a copy of your site (files and database) and just need to adjust both connection strings in your database and portal alias.
