How to access azure web site using ip address

Question

I have created one azure web app service (S1:1), I have registered custom domain (TXT, CNAME & A records in DNS) for this site. I am able to access site using FQDN (https://xyz.pqr.com) but when I am using IP address to access this site it give me below error.

Why am I doing this? I want to redirect another application to this application using DNS resolver for that it make use of IP address.

The 404 error occurs due to multiple reasons, please check the below to resolve the error:

• Please check your domain resolves to the apps IP address by using whatsmydns.net
• Please check whether the A record is pointing to the wrong IP address.
• Check whether the custom domain is having correct A record and CNAME configured.
• The old IP address may be cached, so trying to clear the cache.

Make sure the custom domain is present in the Azure App Service like below:

Please note that, using both a CNAME record and an A record for the same domain can cause a conflict and prevent the domain from being resolved.

Please check this MsDoc for few causes and solutions that may give you a pointer to solve the issue.
