I'm having trouble with the IPv6 address on one of my servers. Initially, all sites were showing the "Apache is functioning normally" page instead of the actual content. Now I'm trying to look into the IP's settings, but I'm getting all kinds of strange errors when trying to view the IP's options.
When I click on the IP under IP management, it says "Cannot Execute Your Request - Not a valid IP Address"

The IP is added correctly to the /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/ips directory with the following contents
add_to_device=no
gateway=
global=no
linked_ips=
netmask=ffff:ffff:ffff:0:0:0:0:0
ns=
reseller=
status=free
value=
I'm not sure how to fix this as I'm unable to remove the IP from IP management due to the message "Unable to remove IP - you must free it first".

I would like all sites to be reachable on both IPv4 and v6, but for the time being v4 has priority.
 
Never mind. After enabling ipv6=1 and then restarting directadmin I was able to click on the IPv6 address and edit the properties. From there I was able to link the IPv4 and v6 addresses together and everything worked again as normal.
