Redirect IP to domain name

Hello all,

Another way to go about the problem is to add the rule in your Apache configuration.

Create a new Virtual Host configuration file: Create a new configuration file for the server IP address in the /etc/apache2/sites-available directory:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/ip-redirect.conf

Configure the Virtual Host: Add the following configuration to the newly created file, replacing your_domain.com and your_server_ip with your domain and server IP address, respectively:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName your_server_ip

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://your_domain.com$1 [R=301,L]
</VirtualHost>

This configuration sets up a Virtual Host for your server IP address and enables the mod_rewrite module to redirect all requests made to the server IP to your domain.

Enable the Virtual Host: Enable the new Virtual Host configuration and restart Apache:

sudo a2ensite ip-redirect.conf
sudo systemctl restart apache2

Check your existing Virtual Hosts: Make sure there are no conflicting Virtual Host configurations that could be causing issues. The default Virtual Host configuration in Apache is usually named 000-default.conf. If this file is enabled, disable it with the following command and restart Apache:

sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf
sudo systemctl restart apache2

After completing these steps, all requests made to your server IP should be redirected to your domain name.

Good Morning,

I am having a similar problem, I need to direct my server by IP/phpmyadmin, as in the example:

https://myip/phpmyadmin dedirect to https://mysite.com/phpmyadmin

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^XXX.XX.XXX.XXX$ (my ip) RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://mysite.com/$1 [L,R=301]

I was only able to with the above rules direct my IP to mysite.
