Does anyone know if you can create another instance of koha (for training and development) on the same server as your live instance without messing with your live instance
Yes, this is quite doable, assuming that your server has enough disk space to store the additional database and has enough RAM and CPU capacity that peak use of the test instance doesn't take away from the production instance. The easiest way to set this up is to install Koha from the koha-common Debian package [1]. You can then use the koha-create command to add instances. One thing to note with that setup, however, is that all of the instances are perforce going to be at exactly the same version of Koha. If you want to test a different version of Koha, having a separate server or virtual machine for the test instance would be easier to manage.
