Bug 312421 – www-servers/lighttpd[ipv6] should include server.use-ipv6 in the default conf

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description DEMAINE Benoît-Pierre, aka DoubleHP 2010-03-31 14:57:43 UTC]

I emerged lighttpd with USE="ipv6" and was surprised to see that the port was not open. nmap localhost shown it but not nmap -6 localhost .

I come to ask the Gentoo maintainer to add this line in the default config file:
if ipv6 is on:
# Uncomment the following line to allow IPv6 support.
# It is automatically activated because you had emerge lighttpd with USE="ipv6"
server.use-ipv6 = "enable"

and probably also this if it's off:
# Uncomment the following line to allow IPv6 support.
# It would be automatically activated if you had emerge lighttpd with USE="ipv6"
# server.use-ipv6 = "enable"

Or just
server.use-ipv6 = "disable"
?

Thanks.

I agree, I had to google it myself.

Created attachment 234987 [details]
lighttpd-ipv6.patch

Maybe a patch like this would be accepted? :)

Patch looks good. I will apply along with the new version of lighttpd
