domain name redirecting, but changes to IP address

Posted on October 5, 2015

When I am typing my domain name in the browser, it redirects to my server. Also, loads the page. But, in the browser, the domain name changes to the IP address of the server. I want it to show the domain name.

Hello team,

Even I am also facing the same issue with Magento, When I hit the domain name it directly redirects to IP address.

DocumentRoot “/var/www/html” #ServerName xyz.com/

Other directives here

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^dl-magento.devdlt.com$ RewriteRule /.* https://xyz.com/ [R]

</VirtualHost>

Hello, If you would like to get support on this, you always need to provide information about your system. We can not see that from here, so what webserver are you using? How does your VHOST config look? What kind of site are you running?

If you’re using WP or any other CMS application, then probably you might have used IP address for the domain name while installing the application. That is why it is redirecting to IP address. To resolve the issue make changes in .config file and replace IP address with your domain name.
