Bug#465604: apache2 does not start on IPv4-only system

[Holger Mickler <holger.mickler@web.de>]

Package: apache2
Version: 2.2.8-1
Severity: important


A fresh install of apache2 does not work on a self-compiled kernel which has only IPv4 enabled.
It does not work on the stock debian kernel either when IPv6 is blacklisted.

The following are the error messages:

A) With default config

$ /etc/init.d/apache2 start
Starting web server: apache2apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for snoopy
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
 failed!


B) With Listen 0.0.0.0:80 in /etc/apache2/ports.conf

$ /etc/init.d/apache2 start
Starting web server: apache2[Wed Feb 13 16:01:22 2008] [crit] (EAI 9)Address family for hostname not supported: alloc_listener: failed to set up sockaddr for 0.0.0.0
Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/ports.conf:
Listen setup failed
 failed!
