DirectAdmin not listening on ipv6?

[Freeaqingme]

Hey,

I'm sorry if I'm being ignorant, but I searched all over the world and have been unable to find anything

The problem: Whatever I do, direct admin isn't listening on ipv6:

[root@server2 custombuild]# cat /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf | grep ipv6
ipv6=1
[root@server2 custombuild]# service directadmin restart
Stopping DirectAdmin: [ OK ]
Starting DirectAdmin: [ OK ]
[root@server2 custombuild]# netstat -lantup | grep 2222
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:2222 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 9119/directadmin
[root@server2 custombuild]#

I would expect to see another line in the netstat output mentioning somthing like :::2222 but up to today there isn't :'(

Thanks.

Did you add an ip in the ip manager?

Yes, did, but currently it's just not supported. So I was told by John by email.

For people finding this thread who are willing to do the same as I do they can either use socat:

socat TCP6-LISTEN:2222,fork TCP:127.0.0.1:2222

or use mod_proxy & apache.

and
http://forum.configserver.com/showthread.php?t=3662 in case you are using CSF

it solved my issues

No, I'm not using CSF. The problem here is that DirectAdmin (the serversoftware itself) just doesn't listen on ipv6.

The code above contains an error, by putting the following in /etc/rc.local (or just executing it) you can actually make it listen on ipv6:

( socat TCP6-LISTEN:2222,fork,ipv6only TCP4:127.0.0.1:2222 &)&
