[6bone] Ipv6 Enabled Web Site

[Mohacsi Janos]

Hi,
 	What kind of operating system you have? Can you provide the IPv6 
address of your host, if you prefer in private, to check whether it is 
reachable via IPv6, an then check web service via IPv6. Are you sure that 
you have correct netstat, that can print IPv6 addresses? Can you try 
"netstat -A inet6 -an" or "netstat -f inet6 -an" on Solaris?

 	Regarding the separate socket issues: The apache usually listen on 
one socket for IPv4 and IPv6, contrary to e.g. sendmail or postfix, where 
separate socket for IPv6 and IPv4.

You have to specify only your servername:

NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
     ServerAdmin admin at yourdomain
     DocumentRoot serverroot
     ServerName your.domain
     ErrorLog /var/log/httpd-xxx-error_log
     CustomLog /var/log/httpd-xxx-access_log common
</VirtualHost>


Be careful: you have to have your.domain in your DNS otherwise apache will 
fail.
