Weird Apache / IPv6 issue




Posted by RandomThoughts, 10-10-2010, 04:37 PM
Hi all, I'm trying to get Apache to listen & serve websites on both IPv4 & IPv6 addresses. I believe I've followed the Apache documentation correctly, but when I do a netstat -an | grep 80 the last digit of the IPv6 address has been removed & so it seems Apache isn't listening on the correct IPv6 address This is what the above is showing, but the :80 isn't part of the address, it seems to be showing the :80 that was placed outside the square brackets to specify the port (which is what Apache docs says to do) 2a02:21a8:1:d:0:200:1026:80 Any clues?

try netstat -anW - IPv6 needs a wider field width

Thanks for the reply, my netstat didn't understand the 'W' option, but does have a 'T' option that does what I think you were aiming at. Now the problem is I don't have a problem (not in that area anyway). Seems Apache IS listening on the correct addresses. I still think I have a problem though, I don't have IPv6 capability from my home PC but using wget -6 from two IPv6 enabled VPS's the connection to the website times out.

you can use an external checker for IPv6 at: http://lg.consulintel.euro6ix.org/

Well as far as I can tell I have no IPv6 connectivity outside my VPS, going to lodge a ticket with BurstNET then call it a night, getting late here
