OK. The underlying issue here now seems to be: On Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop, Network Manager causes a network configuration that leads Apache to start up listening on IPv6, but to restart listening on IPv4. Specifying network configuration using /etc/network/interfaces does not cause this behaviour, and works as expected (apache2 uses IPv4 consistently).
Therefore, this is really a Network Manager bug, not an apache2 bug -- should we change it to be against network-manager? This also implies that doing "allow from ::1" as well as "allow from localhost" is a only workaround, not really addressing the issue itself. -- Accessing http://localhost gives a 403 Forbidden when using apache "allow localhost" directive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370542 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
