What approach did you take in creating your dev/test instance?
1: You need to copy your files
2: You need to change your connection string if it's not going to run on the same DB as your local machine does
3: You need to make sure that all necessary dependencies that Umbraco requires are installed on the server
4: You need to make sure that permissions have been setup properly as well
Creating a test/dev instance
What's the easiest way to create a test/dev instance of an existing site please?
I thought I'd be able to copy it and rename it, but I'm getting
Exception Details: System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Invalid key value.
So it's obviously a bit more complicated than that.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
