Configure Apache so it doesn't display a site for IP based vhosts

  • 772

I have a CentOS LAMP server. It has several vhosts configured. If I navigate to:

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/  (server IP)

Apache displays one of the sites. How can I configure Apache to show nothing or perhaps a 403 Forbidden? If it could show a forbidden before checking for malformed requests that would be even better.

apache-2.2 virtualhost

    The first vhost that Apache picks up from your configuration is the default one picked when the name that the client sends doesn't match any configured vhost, so you'll have to make a vhost that sends 403 errors and ensure that it's picked up first in the httpd config.
