Having 2 servers?

[Lestat]

How to test scripts and resources before adding them to a 24/7 online server?

I mean, I should have another server which is a copy of my main to test my scripts before adding them? And if so, how to have 2 servers?

Should I copy my "server" directory and change "mtaserver.conf" to have another name and ports? Would that work or is there another way of testing my scripts before adding them.

If you're hosting the main server on your local computer then yes, you would need to copy the server folder and change the name and ports for your server.
