Upgrade from 1.6.3 to 1.7.1 testing

Question

I am trying to test before upgrade to latest version

my 1.6.3 is here

http://www.mysite.com

my test install would be here:

http://www.mysite.com/test/

I copy my 1.6.3 to /test/ folder and I create a mirror db from my 1.6.3 online version

I have updated these in qa-config.php

 define('QA_MYSQL_HOSTNAME', 'localhost');
 define('QA_MYSQL_USERNAME', '');
 define('QA_MYSQL_PASSWORD', '');
 define('QA_MYSQL_DATABASE', '');

What else do I need to change to make QA work in this folder????
Thanks

Answer 1

As long as those DB details point to the copy of the database that will be fine.

There is an option "Preferred site URL" in admin but I don't think that affects anything visible on the site (it's mainly used for emails and the canonical tag for search engines).
