Topic: Prevent Access to server when URL is an IP address

[Jayson WOnder]

Hello,

I have a VPS with 2 IP addresses hosting various sites. These sites / domains share the 2 IP's. When I type in the IP address as a URL it takes me to the following pages...

First IP shows:
"Apache is functioning normally"

Second IP shows:
"This IP is being shared among many domains.
To view the domain you are looking for, simply enter the domain name in the location bar of your web browser."

I do not want these to be visible and would like to have it redirect to a 403 Forbidden or similar capable of blocking access when either IP address is entered.

Any suggestions on the best way to do this?

Thanks,

Well you can limit access to that vhosts to certain IP addresses.

in apache 2.4 it is for example Require ip 192.168 in 2.2 is a bit different ( allow / deny rules).
