Question Create clone of Joomla! Site

[lightingman2003]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.50 #2

We are running Plesk Obsidian 18.0.50 #2 & Joomla Toolkit 2.5.10 on Ubuntu 22.04.02 LTS

In order to test the Joomla! 3 to Joomla! 4 update to ensure everything is working & runs correctly using Joomla 4 & PHP 8.1, we'd like to clone our Joomla Sites onto a separate Domain. Having clicked around on the Joomla Toolkit, there doesnt seem to be a way to clone the complete Joomla site & MySQL databases.

Whilst we can use the Website copying function to copy the Website files, this won't copy the MySQL DB into another DB.

Has anyone found a way to be able to clone Joomla sites using either the Joomla Toolkit or another extension?

Thanks

DB must be copied manually. You can simply update the Joomla config file afterwards to use the new database name, username and password.
