Ip address server block is over ridding domain server block

I have a nginx server and I have a domain listening on port 80. I also want to setup if a user enters the ip address of the server they get this static html page.

Right now my ip address server block which is

listen XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:80

is overriding the domain server block how can I fix this? I tried using default_server but I thinking that putting an if statement would be the best. Any ideas are appreciated.

Don't confuse listen directive with server_name.

listen is network level directive which makes nginx listen to some port and interface, while server_name is about what Host header will browser send.

So instead of listen 12.34.56.78:80 you should use

listen 80;
server_name 12.34.56.78;

Also it's worth to read how nginx process request.
