Hi All,

I'm having difficulties setting up apache on ipv6 env. I have two linux
systems, one is apache and the other test machine to access apache remotely.
I have the following ipv6 add at apache server:

fe80::20c:29ff:feb9:406a

I bind the above to apache:
Listen [fe80::20c:29ff:feb9:406a]:80

Prob is apache won't start and gives me the error:

"Starting httpd: (22)Invalid argument: make_sock: could not bind to address
[fe80::20c:29ff:feb9:406a]:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs"

So I change the Listen to:
Listen [::]:80

Apache starts with no prob. 

So I access apache remotely from the other linux system with:

telnet fe80::20c:29ff:feb9:406a%eth0 80 

I can't get a connnection... 

But if I do ping6 or telnet to port 22 for the above ipv6 address,
everything works. Even if I use SSH, I can get a shell. Somehow apache isn't
just happening. 

Anybody got ideas what is happening and how to solve the problem?
