All I want is to test my app before deployment in future also. Please suggest how to do it.

I’ve referred following links, but I’m not clear since I’m new to this.

I would make two instances of the copies of the app

For instance:

  1. /var/www/app -> myapp.com
  2. /var/www/staging -> staging.myapp.com

Then you can do your testing on the staging instance and once you are happy move the files over to the “production instance”.
