I have ipv6.domain.tld set up and pointing to my server’s IPV6 address. I have added my server’s IPV6 address through Webmin. When I restart Apache, I get
Restarting web server: apache2[Mon Jul 16 02:51:57 2012] [error] (EAI 2)Name or service not known: Failed to resolve server name for 2607:5300:20:101::1:1023 (check DNS) -- or specify an explicit ServerName
... waiting [Mon Jul 16 02:51:58 2012] [error] (EAI 2)Name or service not known: Failed to resolve server name for 2607:5300:20:101::1:1023 (check DNS) -- or specify an explicit ServerName
.
When I try to visit ipv6.domain.tld, I just get a domain down page. What is wrong with it?
My answer:
Each VirtualHost
in which you’ve used the IPv6 address requires a ServerName
to be set. If you aren’t using VirtualHost
then you need to set the global ServerName
.
