    Is there any limitation on which folders I can install a dev copy of amember into?

    I'm using WAMP and it installed fine in wamp/www/amember but then I added a second dev copy to wamp/www/folder1/amember and I couldn't access it. Both point to the same database.

    Is only 1 dev license allowed or does the dev environment folder structure have to mimic the production license folder structure?

    Thanks!

    There is no limit that I am aware of. I have at least 10 copies on localhost for various clients.
    But, using the same database will cause issues, because path settings will not be correct.
    Also you will need to change the RewriteBase in the .htaccess file.
    Example
    RewriteBase /dev_folder/members

    On my localhost this puts amember at this URL
    http://localhost/dev_folder/members
