Listening apache on IPv6 (dual IPv4-IPv6 machine)

["Raminder Singh" <singhraminder@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi group,

I'm facing a problem in configuring apache 2.2.4 to listen on IPv6.

 

Configuration: windows server 2003 SP1

Apache 2.2.4

 

IPconfig: 192.168.30.3 / fd00:b00:ffff:3::3

 

when I install and configure apache to listen on 8088 port using IPv4 ..it works fine. Test page displayed at http://localhost:8088 & http://192.168.30.3:8088

 

But when I change Listen 8088 to Listen [fd00:b00:ffff:3::3]:8088 in httpd.conf and ::1/fd00:b00:ffff:3::3 against localhost ( in /etc/hosts file) and restart apache.. it won't get start. It says check error in evet viewer.

there are 3 messages:

1) The apache service named reported the following error: >>> [date:time][crit](OS 11004) The requested name is valid, but no data of the request type was found : alloc-listener: failed to setup sockaddr for [fd00:b00:ffff:3::3]

2) The apache service named reported the following error: >>> syntex error on line 53 of httpd.conf .. which is  Listen [fd00:b00:ffff:3::3]:8088

3) The apache service named reported the following error: >>> Listen setup failed.

 

Can you help in resolving this issue? is Line "Listen [fd00:b00:ffff:3::3]:8088" is correct in syntax?

 

-- i checked tomcat running on IPv6..its working fine with contents of etc/hosts file.

 

thanks for helping...
