I am moving a site from one server to a new server. Currently the new server is the development site and is accessed via IP.

I have copied and set up the SSL on the new server but there doesn’t seem to be anyway of testing that the SSL is properly installed until I point the domain.

Is there a way I can test that the SSL it setup and configured correctly before I point the domain?

Ideally I’d like to launch the site and know that everything is working correctly!

Thanks

    You could try adding the new IP address for the host to your /etc/hosts (or wherever Windows stores the hosts file; look in C:\Windows\System32\hosts as a starting point) file on your client. It’s just like updating DNS for a single machine.

    Don’t forget to remove the entry after you’re done testing.
