Magento 2: I want to Install another setup of Magento in live site

Question

I have a Magento store set up already working fine It is using Venus Theme,

Now I wanted to use another theme, When I installed and applied the theme, the Homepage is not working properly, UI is broken, nothing shows on Homepage etc.

I was not able to set the Site right after changing the theme.

Now I wanted to install another setup of Magento in my Cpanel with the sample data to show my management and eventuallycustomize the site and move it to live.

for example: www.example.com/test here I want to install a new version of Magento,

Please help me if this possible or guide the ideal way of doing this. much appreciated your response.

Answer 1

It's normal when applying a new custom theme to existing website.
Your first issue mostly relates to static content deploy and permission.

for example: www.example.com/test here I want to install a new version of Magento,

Does your hosting support subdomain? It's better to use subdomain.
Should not put a new install under a subfolder.
But but.. using the same server with the live site is a not good idea. We should have separate servers for testing environments.
