Thanks, I have done steps 1-4. However, I was in touch with my webhost, and they weren't familiar with Akeeba, so I didn't get any good answers from them. My concern is in regards to the Kickstart, where I am supposed to enter the Connection info (database type, server host name, un, pw, dbname, db table name.)Depending on your hosting.
1. If you have your main site in \www then create a \test01 folder in \www
2. In dns settings point your Domain to the \www\test01 folder
3. \www\test01 folder will then be your site root
4. Put the .jpa and kickstart.php in the \www\test01 folder.
4. Point your Browser at yourdomain.com and install your test site
You can always point the Domain back to the original folder.
If your hosting doesn't allow that then use a subdomain but that can confuse paths.
What information from my webhost should I provide here?
The support I talked with told me it wasn't certain the db inside my .jpa would be created doing it this way, instead he suggested I should export the db from phpMyAdmin and upload it. Would this cause issues with the Akeeba extraction process?
Not sure which way I should pursue here in order to get my project online properly...
