  Hello :) You should install the application within an account. For instance, setup a test account if necessary, and then install WordPress in a subdirectory or the public_html directory of this test account. You can then view the website over an IP address using Apache Mod_Userdir or by manually editing the hosts file on your personal computer. Thank you.

  That type of setup is not supported. Instead, I recommend following the instructions from my previous post: [QUOTE]You should install the application within an account. For instance, setup a test account if necessary, and then install WordPress in a subdirectory or the public_html directory of this test account. You can then view the website over an IP address using Apache Mod_Userdir or by manually editing the hosts file on your personal computer.
  To clarify, by test account, I mean a separate cPanel account. Thank you.

  You could use a domain name that does not exist if necessary (e.g. testing-domain.test). A redirect is not necessary. Simply modify the hosts file on your own computer with an entry such as: IP-Address-Here testing-domain.test You can find documentation on the hosts file at: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_(file)]hosts (file) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Thank you.
