If I run apache2 using it's default config, it binds to the ipv6 address, even though
I haven't set up an ipv6 connection (sit0 is down, only eth0, ppp0, and lo is up).
Thus a client who knows only ipv4 (i.e. a windows user), cannot connect to my server.
A possible fix to this problem is, that by default the file ports.conf should contain this:
Listen 0.0.0.0:80
However I don't know what effect will this have on IPV6 connections. But given the fact that
most often people will use ipv4 addresses on their servers, or at home, I think that it would be
best to make the default configuration to bind to ipv4, and if somebody wishes to use ipv6
he'll just have to change the config file. Of course this opinion could be wrong.
The best in my opinion would be if it would accept connections on both ipv4 and ipv6,
but that's not happening in the default config.
In order for it to be accessed from ipv4, the postinstall script should be changed like this
Instead of: echo "Listen 80" >> /etc/apache2/ports.conf
Should be: echo "Listen 0.0.0.0:80" >> /etc/apache2/ports.conf
