IPv6 will not bind in GUI

[connor_nz]

I am having issues with IPv6 not wokring with direct admin within a Debian OS install.

I can get the an address binded and working within the OS. Traffic passes just fine.

I can't "add IP" within direct admin from the devices tab as it fails with "invalid netmask". I guess it's trying to use /64 but I can't enter anything after ipv6address.

2404:bf40:a102::3fe/118 or expanded 2404:bf40:a102:0:0:0:0:3fe/118

I've also tried adding manually under IPs and IP.List and get it enabled in direct admin - this works and shows under IP management, but then the virtualhosts file fails to configure properly on the webserver and rebuilding config fails too with "invalid host or port".

I'm truely at a loss here. I've read through all the documentation. I've tried many different things. I can get "apache working correctly" if I browse to my IP, but virtual hosts is breaking and as a result the webserver doesn't work.

Try to switch to Enhanced skin and try to add from there

Sadly changing the skin does not work either.
I still get "Invalid Mask" errors when trying to assign the IP to the direct admin control panel.

I run a /118 subnet mask. Maybe this is the problem?
It won't let me type in the /mask when entering the ipv6 address... Only lets me put the slash "/".

Try /64, to test, it wouldn't harm.
What if you only use the IPv6 without / ?

I did that also. I was up til 5am trying to work it out.

Sadly I have had to move my website elsewhere until I can get this working....
I can ping the directadmin host via ipv6. I can browse to the IP to get "Apache is working correctly" but DA just doesn't want to enable IPv6 via GUI or manual to then be able to build correct virtual host files with IPv6 address.

If you want me look at it (free of charge) send me your server credentials by PM

I am experiencing the same issue. I cannot add IPv6-address/64
It will only display the "/" but cannot add anything after it. Though it worked before.

 

[k1l0b1t]

Yes, same here. I can add a / but nothing else.

In enhanced it does work though

 

[HHawk79]

Okay. Thank you. So it's a bug in the skin I guess. Hopefully resolved in next update though.

I had the same issue. My install will not accept anything after the / either.

I was able to add it to DirectAdmin using Evolution by clicking the + on the IP address under Devices and choosing Add IP. This seemed to configure everything properly for me. Something is definitely awry with the skin though.

This is a bug in Evolution skin. Is fixed in alpha release channel and will get released to current soon with the DA 1.63.9 release.

@ikkeben this is something different, we just fixed IPv6 prefix checking in Evolution without any changes in the backend. DA version 1.62.5 is quite old it might have been or might have not been already fixed along the way.
