I have an updated website I would like to ‘hide’ within the current website for feedback and functionality. I have done this in the past, but am having trouble publishing the ‘new’ site without and index page in RW7. Any ideas?

Thanks!!

Make a new folder on the root of your websites server called ‘test’, drop the whole of the new site in it, use your old sites address then just add /test to the URL.

You might want to add Disallow: /test to a robots.txt file to prevent it being indexed by search engines. [http://www.robotstxt.org/robotstxt.html](http://www.robotstxt.org/robotstxt.html)
