NGINX how to redirect accesses by IP to access by host name instead?

Question

Somehow, Google has indexed my site via IP address as well as by domain. E.g., 180.10.1.1/index.php as well as www.mysite.com/index.php

I want to 301 all those ip address urls to the appropriate hostname urls, but can't figure out how to do it in nginx.conf.

Thank you for your help...

Neither of these answers work for me with the latest version of nginx. I just end up in an infinite redirect loop. I've even tried to regex the IP hoping it would stop future requests but to no avail. — , Nov 09 '11 at 23:14

Add another server block to your config file

server {
    listen 180.10.1.1:80;
    server_name 180.10.1.1;
    rewrite .* http://www.mysite.com$request_uri permanent;
}

if you have latest version of nginx:

server {
  listen 80 default;
  rewrite ^ http://mysite.com$request_uri permanent;
}

in this case default means bind to all ips 0.0.0.0 i think, which might give you unexpected results? – djangofan Nov 09 '11 at 23:23

The above 2 answers didn't work for me either and resulted in an infinite redirect loop. Adding the ip address to my server_name worked:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name mydomain.com www.mydomain.com 67.20x.xxx.xx;
       ...
    }
