Added IPv6, server pingable but no website

[Mr. Jinx]

My hosting provider gave me a /80 ipv6 to play with.

I have followed the steps explained here:
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=353 (ipv6 howto)
and here:
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=346 (multi ip setup).

My first question, after adding the ipv6 ip in DA it shows as a /64 with ifconfig. Is it ok if I delete the /64 adress in ifconfig and replace it with the /80?

Anyway, the server is ipv6 pingable on the new ip adres. But when I visit the website with ipv6 nothing happens, and after a long time it finds the ipv4 website.

All configuration looks good. I added the ipv6 adress as admin in DA, then assigned it to a reseller, and then to user. The user has added the ipv6 adress as a second ip to a domain (multi ip).

aaaa records are added to dns.

But still... no website on ipv6.

I checked with http://ipv6-test.com/validate.php (www.chelloo.com)

Where should I look to troubleshoot this some more?

Figured it out. I was using CSF (firewall).
By default it is using SPI for ipv6, but my kernel didn't support that.

It's working now!

Probably yes, since the number after the / defines which part of your IPv6# is local to your network, and which isn't.

Which means it probably won't matter unless you're trying to route packets between two machines on the same local network, but it doesn't hurt to be right.
