h1. server.use-ipv6 *Default:* @disable@ You can use this setting if lighty was compiled without @--disable-ipv6@ and you have working IPv6 on your box. *Note:* You can bind it to IPv6 sockets freely *without* enabling this option. h3. How does it work? When enabled, it binds to IPv6 socket when a hostname is to be bound. Otherwise hostnames bind by default to IPv4. If your operating system doesn't have has not enabled @bindv6only@ enabled (Linux: @sysctl net.ipv6.bindv6only@ | BSD: @sysctl net.inet6.ip6.v6only@) and @server.set-v6only@ is disabled (added and enabled by default since version:1.4.27), it binds to an IPv6 socket and accepts IPv4 connections on it. This results in IPv4 mapped addresses in the access.log like "::ffff:127.0.0.1". If you need IPv6 and don't like the mapped addresses, you have to enable @bindv6only@ *or* leave this option disabled and bind to the IPv4 address(es) and IPv6 address(es) yourself. Please use @server.use-ipv6@ *only* only for hostnames, not without server.bind or empty address. Your config will break if the kernel default for @bindv6only@ changes. h3.
