Question
Site accessible through IP and domain name -- is this a problem?
- Posted November 10, 2013
I have setup a LAMP environment on my droplet. My site is accessible through the IP address as well as the domain name. Is this an indication that I set up Apache incorrectly? I want my site accessible through the domain name only.

It is default configuration. Read about virtual hosts
You can enable NameVirtualHost and divert all the traffic by hosts. <br>That way you can add multiple domain names to one Apache server. <br> <br>Example configuration: <br> <br>NameVirtualHost *:80 <br><VirtualHost *:80> <br> ServerName domain.com <br> DocumentRoot /var/www/mywebsite <br></VirtualHost> <br> <br>What’s the desired configuration? <br>How would you like it to act? <br>
