I can access your webpage

You can use the SixXS v4 to v6 gateway to test external access - http://kalterooni.port0.org.ipv4.sixxs.org/ works for me!

Answer to: Patrick Lindholm on 31 March 2009 16:49:01 Hi! with http://[2001:14b8:125::abcd]/ From Belgium, I see a devil doing something (?) with a pinguin and "Power to serve" under the label Free BSD

* Which distribution / who compiled it * Which options did you give * What is the exact error etc etc etc "It does not work" is not very useful

I think you have DNS problem. Apache is trying to resolve computer name from IPv6 address. And it can't find it from DNS server. Can you ping6 your server with hostname? How about can you find computer name from IPv6 address by running command: host <your-ipv6-addr>? Do you have Listen -statement on your Apache configuration? Is it listening IPv6 addresses too? Or is it listening just ALL addresses and interfaces like it is by default. If your Apache starts you can run command: lsof -i to check what ports and addresses your server is listening.

I don't know if it's the right place to write this if not I suppose that Jeroen Massar will place it at the right place. For those who, like me, are not engineer, I think, it could be useful. I was working with WinXP which was using Aiccu (Sixxs) to browse on internet without any problems. I tried to install a server to use my Ipv6 address but with WinXP it's impossible. Then I have, also, installed Linux Ubuntu on the same computer. Now, it's Ubuntu 10.10 and a server Xampp (Apache/2.2.14 (Unix) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.14 OpenSSL/0.9.8l PHP/5.3.1 mod_apreq2-20090110/2.7.1 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.1 Server) All that looks like running very well. Bellow, some indication to configure the Apache server in the file httpd.conf How I have done after some experiences. #Ad by me (13-08-2010) ici IPv6 entre crochets mais pas ailleurs #et pas 127.0.0.1 et [::1] sinon redondance et plantage de phpmyadmin, #Joomla (Mysql probablement) pas de connection avec "localhost:6" Listen 127.0.0.1:80 #Listen [::1]:80 Listen [xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx]:80 # Here Use [] not elsewhere and your Ipv6 address User -Your user name- #Ad by me (13-04-2011) Group -Your user group- #ServerAdmin you@example.com ServerAdmin You@yourmail.address # ServerName #ServerName www.example.com:80 # XAMPP #Ad by me (13-08-2010) Si IPv6 uniquement localhost sinon plantage de # Controls who can get stuff from this server. #Ad by me 10-08-2010 Order deny,allow Allow from 127.0.0.1 #Ad by me 10-08-29: Allow from ::1 is not useful Allow from xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx # = Ipv6 network allowed from outside

Which version of "Apache"? As Apache2 does IPv6 perfectly fine as used by this and a large number of other sites. Apache1.3 indeed per default doesn't support IPv6 and you will have to patch it up to make it have IPv6 support. Using a 'bouncer' or a 'port forwarder' is not a solution as your logs will not show the real IPv6 source address.

The error message "can't set up the sockaddr" is not familiar to me, but i can confirm that the standard Apache package doesn't work well with IPv6 at the Win32 platform. After using the next patch my problems were solved: http://win6.jp/Apache2/index.html How did you configure your httpd.conf? Here are some do's and don't's Don't: Listen 80 Do: Listen 0.0.0.0:80 Listen [::]:80 Don't: <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot D:/inetpub/website ServerName website.org </VirtualHost> Do: <VirtualHost [::]:80 0.0.0.0:80> DocumentRoot D:/inetpub/website ServerName website.org </VirtualHost> In case you have a dynamic IPv4 address it's better to leave it at 0.0.0.0:80 instead of filling in your IP address to prevent constantly changing your httpd.conf. In case of multiple virtual hosts you can use unique IPv6 addresses for each vhost while the IPv4 address remains the same. This makes it possible to reach a vhost with both IPv6 address and domainname while the IPv4 address will always pick the default host. For example: <VirtualHost [2001:123:456:1]:80 0.0.0.0:80> DocumentRoot D:/inetpub/website1 ServerName website1.org </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost [2001:123:456:2]:80 0.0.0.0:80> DocumentRoot D:/inetpub/website2 ServerName website2.org </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost [2001:123:456:3]:80 0.0.0.0:80> DocumentRoot D:/inetpub/website3 ServerName website3.org </VirtualHost>
