Map to different index page when user enters ip in apache2

[raamay]

Hello Experts, I have setup two virtual host pointing to same content mapped to ip 192.168.1.100. Everything works fine. But now my requirement is that when user enters the ip address instead of the domain name, the server should serve a different page instead of the index page of the domain. For now if i enter the domain name http://test.com and when i enter http://192.168.1.100, I am served with the index.html page of virtual host. Now, what i want is that when the user enter http://192.168.1.100, the server should serve default.html.

http://test.com ---> index.php
http://192.168.1.100 ---> default.html

The above is the summary as to what i want. Please advice me how to go about.

By the way I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Apache 2.4.7 for your kind information

you can do something with Rewrite see: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current...d_rewrite.html

any other alternatives?

Yes, you can check for referrer in you index.php, and forward the request to default.html

If $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] and $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] are the same, you are getting there via ip-address.

To forward the request, use info from this page.

will it be fine if i created another virtual host to take care of the request from the ip address?

[Luuk]

That is also possible

The first server that has this line:

<VirtualHost *:80>

will serve the requests that are not served by a later defined ServerName
(see: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/examples.html)
