Running multiple instances of Sugar7 on one server

Question

I seem to recall someone mentioning caveats to running multiple instances of SugarCRM 7 on one server (or was it multiple instances in one browser?).

I'd like to set up a copy of my development environment for user testing on the same server as dev. (I don't want them disrupted by continuous repairs and javascript typos).

Anything I need to be aware of before I do this?

thanks,

Francesca: You need to make sure to change the Unique ID number in config.php file. You can change the last 4 characters of the unique_key 0-9 a-f without causing any issues throughout the system.
