Temporary domain name with a tilde

Hi,

A client wants me to upload a site onto a host with a temporary domain name of the following: https://72.44.88.37/~stylishs/ This is causing problems with all the routings to perch etc. Is there any way to make this work? Currently I can see the site but without any content. The admin section brings up:

404 Not Found The server can not find the requested page:

72.44.88.37/admin/core/error/db.php (port 80)

I'm assuming this is all to do with broken links by the ~stylishs ??

Many thanks for your help. Rob

You are going to enter a whole world of pain if you try and use that domain. Just point a subdomain at the site temporarily. You need root to be root, and it isn't with a tilde domain.
