[Tutorial] How to access my site with IP address.

Blog Posts

I got this request from someone who wants to access his site via IP address instead of domain.

By default , in this example , I will use local host file to map domain “centos.local” to my internal IP “10.211.55.9”

so by design , when access by domain , it goes to websites

994×246 23.5 KB

and when access by IP , it goes to 404

so here is how to enable it to be accessible by IP address.

  1. set up webadmin console
  1. go to Listener page , set both Default and SSL listener , add IP into domain map.

so before edit , there was only “centos.local” , so we add “10.211.55.9” , separated with ,

save and restart OLS

  1. now try again with IP , now it loads same page as domain

NOTE:

it’s been said , the important things must be repeated thrice.

Let’s Encrypt and many other SSL cert vendors do NOT issue cert for IP address , so you may not be able to get valid HTTPS connection with IP address.

Excellent information; alternatively there are free domain names (.tk .ml .ga .cf .gq) available along with anycast DNS at Freenom.com which will get you a SSL cert.

Hi qtwerk, thanks for your tutorial. Unfortunately it doesn’t work. I did add the IP into the default and SSL listener. IP address still giving me 404.

Please help. Thanks.

Hello,

Do you guys also know how to point the webserver IP to a certain website/account in Cyberpanel?

I only have 1 website/account inside cyberpanel and I want that to be resolved or called when the IP is being accessed…
