Is it possible to install Craft on a cPanel temp user URL? When you create an account in cpanel you can use a URL to access it like http://ip/%7Eusername/, which is basically http://ip/~username/. Since the client is not ready to take down their old site and we are moving hosts, can Craft run on a URL with the ~username or %7E in the URL? They do not have a dedicated IP unfortunately. Thanks in advance. 

I know the license will be needed, but can we change the URL to the real one when ready to go LIVE?

'example.com' =&gt; array(...


'should' work with an address like:

'123.45.67.89/%7eusername' =&gt; array(...


You might also try:

'123.45.67.89/~username' =&gt; array(...


Although using a proper domain name as in my comment above would be better.

Good luck. :)
