To change the database accessed by the web application on the Staging Server follow these steps:

1. Access the web-based sync scripts by going to http://repository.leadliaison.com/. You'll need your Subversion (SVN) credentials to access the site.
2. Select the 'leadliaison/' folder.
3. Select the '02-change-connection-strings-leadliaison.php' script.
4. Hit the appropriate button:
   1. 'CHANGE_to_STAGING_IP' will switch the web application on the Staging Server to use the staging/test database.
   2. 'CHANGE_to_PRODUCTION_IP' will switch the web application on the Staging Server to use the production/live database.
