Running PW from an IP address

[a-ok]

Is it possible to run PW from an IP address before pointing the domain name at the server? The front end seems to be working okay but when I try to log in it just refreshes the page... is it possible to run it from an IP address (added to config as host too).

I assume you are referring to a call of the following format:

http://10.0.71.8:8105/processwire/page/

This is the call to my testing site. Works like a charm for me, both in the front and back end.

Do you just use a standard installation?

Hmm yep I am. When I try to log in it seems to just refresh the page...

So you don't see the login page at all? Maybe the browser gets confused because the IP address you use was used for another site earlier. Can you try to clear the browser cache and cookies from the site?
