focuslab config - ip address for host not working

Question

I've got the focuslab config set up and everything works fine on localhost. However my staging server it doesn't work. I've determined that it's likely due to using an ipaddress in the host for config.env.php

    case '111.222.333.444' :
        define('ENV', 'stage');
        define('ENV_FULL', 'Staging');
        define('ENV_DEBUG', FALSE);
    break;

    default :
        define('ENV', 'local');
        define('ENV_FULL', 'Local');
        define('ENV_DEBUG', TRUE);
    break;

If I take one of my domains and use it as a pointer domain on the same server and change the ip to the domain it works. Unfortunately I can't keep that domain pointed there as I did that just for testing.

So the non work is http://111.222.333.444/~username but if I point a domain to the same host it works.

Is there some way to get master config to work with an ip address instead of a domain?

That's because the config file is checking the value of $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']. What you need to check is $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'].

try this:

if(!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']))
{
    switch (strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])) {
        // Standard case statements here
    }
}
else
{
    if($_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] == '111.222.333.444')
    {
        define('ENV', 'stage');
        define('ENV_FULL', 'Staging');
        define('ENV_DEBUG', FALSE);
    }
}
