how to configure ipv6 on directadmin

[webbyo]

Hi,

I've searched for a solution but can't find it.

I have a clean vps debian lenny installed with directadmin with a ipv4 ip.

Now i want to add a ipv6 to work with a domain.
The domain dns is configured to aaaaa ipv6 address

I configured: /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf and I added:

[B]ipv6=1[/B]
SSL=0
addip=/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/addip
----shortened-----

restarted directadmin with command:

root@vps:~# service directadmin restart
Stopping DirectAdmin: [ OK ]
Starting DirectAdmin: [ OK ]

and checked if it configured:

root@vps:~# cd /usr/local/directadmin
root@vps:/usr/local/directadmin# ./directadmin c |grep ipv6
ipv6=1
root@vps:/usr/local/directadmin#

I added the ipv6 address in directadmin and assigned the ipadress to a client and domain.

But somehow it does not work.

Do i need to add the ip to /etc/network/interface ?
if so, how do i do this? I have one ipv4 configured to this vps and looks like:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
	address 141.138.***
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	network 141.138.***
	broadcast 141.138.***
	gateway 141.138.***
	# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
	dns-nameservers 80.***.67 80.***.66
	dns-search vps.****.nl

But somehow it does not work.

How did you define it was not working?

Do i need to add the ip to /etc/network/interface ?

I'd rather say no. What is your ifconfig results?

When i go to that domain which is configured to ipv6 and no ipv4. then i get:


ifconfig says:

root@vps:~# ifconfig

          inet addr:141.138.***.82  Bcast:141.138.***.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

root@vps:~#

and when i check the dns settings for the domain on:
http://www.hscripts.com/tools/HDNT/dns-record.php

i get:

Do I understand you right that you can not reach your web-site using ipv6? Did you consult with your hosting provider? Does he route ipv6 to and from your VPS correctly?
