    I just finished creating a site with modX reVo and would like to reuse most of the code for a slightly different site. What is the best way to duplicate the site to use as a starting point for another site. The two will be independent of each other so I need to create a new database.

    I'm following the directions in:
    http://rtfm.modx.com/revolution/2.x/administering-your-site/moving-your-site-to-a-new-server

    but these directions are for moving the site, not creating a new site with the old data. I'm not really sure where to branch from these directions and what to do differently.

    Any ideas? I'm not an expert so please be a specific as possible.

      Looks like I got it to work. If anyone else want to know:
      1) Follow direction in link above.
      2)Import database dump into a new database
      3) change the database name in core/config/config.inc.php
      note- this assumes the database is located on the same server as before but with a new name.
