I wouldn't say it's the best solution, but I've just been copying the project folder and appending "_dev" or "_backup" to the folder name. Change the port number in the config file (or even use prod.cfg for one and dev.cfg for the other), and just run it. In itself it doesn't cause any problems. Some problems that can arise are: - messing around on the command line and forgetting which directory you're in :( - copying an sqlite database while something is writing to it can corrupt it. - Having both sites connecting to the same database can cause problems when you test a form or such, and enter junk test data which then shows up on the live site. - Forgetting to change the port number, in which case the second site will complain that the port isn't free. So basically, the main danger is your (my!) own stupidity. Other than that it should work fine.
