Using on test server with IP address and username for URL - coolerkid9090 - 10-14-2019
I'm moving my site to a new server. I restored the CPanel backup but I want to test the site before I change the domain to point to the new server. Until I like the domain I would load it using the IP/username, like: http://192.169.1.100/~myusername
Of course that breaks Codeigniter when I open http://192.169.1.100/~myusername/pagename
How can I get it working with the test server until I'm ready to point the domain over?

Change your local host file (on your computer) and point your domain to the new servers IP-address.
