Today’s question is about creating a staging environment for WordPress development, and comes to us from a member of the WPMU community named Matt.

What’s the easiest way to create a stable staging server, in parallel to the production server, when building a WordPress site? And what sort of system or tool would I need to push from staging to live, with as little fuss as possible?
