In order to test upgrade a mautic instance, I want to duplicate the installation:

- I created another subdomain.  
- I copied all files.  
- I copied the database.  
- I connected the installation to the beta database through editing local.php  
  
  
  
The beta instance tells me it is the current version - although its v1.4.1. Why is it not detecting the new version and offers me to upgrade?  
  
Do I need to setup the same cronjobs? Do they trigger the upgrade check?
