I have setuped everything and is working very well. Now what I want is when a user enter ip address of droplet the url should be rewritten with my domain name.
I have created A record and CNAME record and the people can access it with ‘www’ and without 'www’. The only functionality I need is that to replace my ip address in the address bar with domain For Ex:- 128.199.126.36 to www.tutshunt.com
Please Help ASAP
Y.ou need to create a virtual host directive for your domain. Since you didn’t mention your server OS, please check these fine tutorials from DO:
Ubuntu
Centos
I tried the above link but it wasn’t working! I followed steps described in the tutorial but no success
My Server OS is Ubuntu running nginx
If you want to redirect your IP address to your domain name, the server block should look like this:
server {
listen 80;
server_name IP;
return 301 http://domain.com$request_uri;
}
so:
server {
listen 80;
server_name 128.199.126.36;
return 301 http://www.tutshunt.com$request_uri;
}
