    apache2 with ipv6

    Hey chaps,
    i was hoping someone could shed some light on an issue that i'm having.
    I'm trying to resolve the localhost with the IPv6 address.
    That is, instead of typing in http://127.0.0.1/SOAP, ill be able to type in http://<ipv6 address>/SOAP
    Eventually, its to use the IPv6 address to communicate with another computer across the network.
    I've tried http://::1 in FF which gives me an error, but i can ping6 ::1.

    hrmmmm
    Cheers chaps,
    Steve

    Re: apache2 with ipv6

    Its Ubuntu Feisty running Apache2. Apache2 is set to bind to ipv6 addresses I'm sure; it is by default.

    my supervisor installed apache2 and the php mods on the ununtu-based testbench we have in the lab, they're all accessing the localhost using ipv6 addressing, so I guess its just my machine thats strange
    Cheers for the help though guys

    Re: apache2 with ipv6

    can you post the httpd.conf and the results from an `ip a l' command please? (assuming you have iproute2 installed).

    Re: apache2 with ipv6

    I think this is potentially due to the way ubuntu handles apache modules.

    you have to "enable" modules that are present using an ubuntu command "ap2mod" or something like that.

    The problem is not dissimilar from the hundreds of people having php5 modules issues where they install php5 - the module is present but not "enabled". I'll get the correct command for you later when I get into the office.
    It is Inevitable.....
