Hello all,

lighttpd is a great because simplistic webserver that was planned to be used on RedHat / CentOS8, but it seems this bug prevents it:

lighttpd is a great because simplistic webserver that was planned to be used on RedHat / CentOS8, but it seems this bug prevents it:

So the default configuration shipped by RedHat/CentOS is not usable for you. Ok. Please modify the configuration, which you can do, so I am not sure how you are being "prevented" from using lighttpd.

Also, how is this a bug in lighttpd?

According to the RedHat issue, lighttpd warned back in 2014 that the lighttpd config needed to be configured properly, just in case the kernel defaults changed.

According to the RedHat issue, the kernel defaults changed after Fedora 20. lighttpd warned about something out of lighttpd's control, and was right.

As noted in the first comment, one recommended configuration is described at https://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/wiki/IPv6-Config#Changes-in-1427

tl;dr: please update the RedHat issue to recommend that they configure lighttpd to explicitly listen on both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in the default config. This issue tracker is for lighttpd. The issue for RedHat must go into RedHat's issue tracker to fix an issue in RedHat's default configuration, which is maintained by RedHat. Got it? ==> Please complain to RedHat.
