IPv6 support

[r]

Hello,

Thanks for the quick answer. 

Well, I'm sure nothing is running on those port (except the same nginx on the IPv4 address with a "listen 80" entry). But you managed to make me find the real bug!

I made two configuration files with the same entries but each one has different listen entries (so i have a nginx.conf-ipv4 and nginx.conf-ipv6).

# nginx -c nginx.conf-ipv4
# netstat -punta | grep :443
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:443         0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      9810/nginx.conf-ipv4
# nginx -c nginx.conf-ipv6
# netstat -punta | grep :443
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:443         0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      9810/nginx.conf-ipv4
# tail /var/log/nginx/error.log
...
2009/04/22 19:54:51  9715#0: bind() to [::]:443 failed (98: )
2009/04/22 19:54:51  9715#0: still could not bind()
# (i kill nginx both nginx processes)
# netstat -punta | grep :443
(returns nothing)
# nginx -c nginx.conf-ipv6
# netstat -punta | grep :443
tcp6       0      0 :::443                  :::*                    LISTEN      9765/nginx.conf-ipv6
# nginx -c nginx.conf-ipv4
# netstat -punta | grep :443
tcp6       0      0 :::443                  :::*                    LISTEN      9765/nginx.conf-ipv6
# tail /var/log/nginx/error.log
...
2009/04/22 20:03:14  10207#0: bind() to 94.23.8.133:443 failed (98: )
2009/04/22 20:03:14  10207#0: still could not bind()

So, it works, but impossible to have two listen entries with both ipv4 and ipv6 (like the one in the post you made in february).

I'm running Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 (lenny).

R.
