deepak_message · 08-18-2011, 02:42 AM

Hi,

I have designed name based virtual hosting in apache. as of now, I am able to access website using IP also. which is I am looking to block, only can access by the name.

please help.

Well you can't stop it at *every* level, but if you just create another dummy virtualhost *ABOVE* the proper one then that will e used as the default site (i.e. when no name is provided) and that site can just be a denial page or something.

Thanks for the reply. most of the places, I have seen that multiple website hosted on same server. and if try to access from an IP, it does not work.
I have configured the same structure, but I do also able to access the website. so looking to prevent the website access from IP.

well yes, that's what I already described.

'it does not work' is very broad; can you be more specific?

If I ping my domain (hosted at a hosting provider), I get 74.53.231.98
If I enter that in the address bar, I don't get my domain but a page that says

Quote:

This is the Plesk™ default page

If you see this page it means:
1) hosting for this domain is not configured
or
2) there's no such domain registered in Plesk.
For more information please contact Administrator.

That page just as well could have been an empty page, but is definitely not my website.

If that is what you want, follow acid_kewpie's advise. Else give an example of an ip address that we can check.

Wim Sturkenboom, you are correct. I am not looking to access using website.

See, the picture is I have configured two domain name on the same IP.
like,

------> /etc/hosts

192.168.0.1 abc1.abc.com
192.168.0.1 abc2.abcd.com

---- > /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

VirtualHost 192.168.0.1*80

<virtualHost abc1.abc.com:80>
DocumentRoot abc1.html
</VirtalHost>

<virtualHost abc2.abcd.com:80>
DocumentRoot abc2.html
</VirtalHost>

Now, when I am accesing website through abc1.abc.com, it accesses page abc1.html
and accessing through abc2.abcd.com , it accesses page abc2.html.

the problem is, when I am accessing through IP(192.168.0.1), able to access of the domain of abc1.abc.com. I am looking if i do access using IP, it should be work.

thanks

As acid_kewpie said,

Code:

VirtualHost 192.168.0.1*80

<virtualHost catchip:80>
DocumentRoot catchip.html
</VirtalHost>


<virtualHost abc1.abc.com:80>
DocumentRoot abc1.html
</VirtalHost>

<virtualHost abc2.abcd.com:80>
DocumentRoot abc2.html
</VirtalHost>

Modify the bold block to your needs. Make an index.html page (in catchip.html) saying something like '!! error !!'. A request for the IP address (or e.g. abc3.com) will end up showing '!! error !!'.

Dude, you *REALLY* need to pay attention to the advice you are given. We all know EXACTLY what you mean. Instead of just asking your question repeatedly, READ the replies you've already got.
