Viewing website without domain?

[.=QUACK=.Major.Pain]

I was wondering if there is a way to view a site without a domain?

I have a VDS hosting account with Hostgator that I am using.

I can create an account and access cPanel.
I could upload and setup the files and database I am sure.

But can I view the index.php or index.html by using an ip url instead of a domain url?

eg:

http://1.1.1.1/accountname/home/public_ ... /index.php

The above gives me error 404 not found.

Yes, with cpanel the site needs a dedicated IP address. The forum software should also be configured to know it is being access like http://123.123.123.123/forum/index.php

Also, public_html is your public folder. your example URL should only be http://1.1.1.1/forum/index.php

We use a VDS here with cpanel, with an extra IP(I host some small personal sites off it as well).

Thanks for the guidance.
Got it all working now.

But on another issue, with this script, I had to upgrade from php 5.3 to 5.4.
Now I am finding that commands have been dropped or changed.

With googling my issues, I found the fix.

Error coming up was:

Code: Select all

Warning: Illegal string offset 'id' in /home/findaden/public_html/classes/class_EventCategory.php on line 72

Line 72:

Code: Select all

			$this->id            = ($row["id"])            ? $row["id"]            : ($this->id            ? $this->id            : 0);

Fix:

Code: Select all

			$this->id            =(isset($row["id"])            ? $row["id"]            : ($this->id            ? $this->id            : 0));

Have to add "(isset" and an extra ")" at end of the line.


My issue is for lines like:

Code: Select all

        function makeFromRow($row='') {
            if ($row['id']) $this->id = $row['id'];
            else if (!$this->id) $this->id = 0;
            if ($row['value']) $this->value = $row['value'];
            else if (!$this->value) $this->value = 0;
        }

Error comes up as:

Code: Select all

Warning: Illegal string offset 'id' in /home/findaden/public_html/classes/class_RobotsFilter.php on line 38

which would be the second line.

I can't seem to get the syntax correct.
