Prevent htaccess from redirecting IP's to www

Question

We have this htacceess code to redirect non-www URL's to https://www :

#First rewrite any request to the wrong domain to use the correct one (here www.)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
#
#Now, rewrite to HTTPS:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

The website has dedicated IP and when we enter the IP address , Rewrite engine will redirect "107.180.56.244" to " https://www.107.180.56.244 " and the site will not load. What should we do?

Answer 1

You can use the following conditions to stop the redirection for HTTP_HOST ip address :

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(\d+)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
