Why my IPv6 lighttpd can not run at some provider?

edited May 2012 in General

I would like to ask,

My current blog is now moved to the BuyVM, and when I configure it for working with IPv6, it would run, and can be accessed, even if the website is IPv6 only. For example, is this

I have VPS from the following provider :

  • BuyVM - OpenVZ 256
  • IperWeb - OpenVZ VZ5
  • Hostigation - LA OpenVZ 256
  • Misterhost - DE OpenVZ 128
  • SSHVM - OpenVZ VPS1

All of them have IPv6 enabled, running Ubuntu 10.04 32bit and running Lighttpd 1.4.26 ( installed with : apt-get install lighttpd )

I have copied the same folder of /etc/lighttpd from BuyVM to all of the VPS, and set the AAAA from NameCheap to each IPv6 provided by each host.

But when I start the Lighttpd, only BuyVM can run. Others were failed. Or even if running, when I open the website with IPv6 only, they are not available. Always some note like no route, or inaccessible.

This is the configuration of Lighttpd which only run at BuyVM :

/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf 

------------------------
include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/use-ipv6.pl"
server.socket = "[::]:80"

If I put comment # at those two lines, Lighttpd would run, and the website can be accessed via IPv6.
But if I use the same configuration at another provider without comment, Lighttpd can not run.

So, is there any special configuration placed in BuyVM which is not available for another provider?
Or maybe there is something I have to set?

    Did you try with this?

    server.use-ipv6 = "enable"

    Thank you sir, I will try it.

    I'm trying with Ubuntu 11.10 32, lighttpd 1.4.28 at Iperweb :

    include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/use-ipv6.pl"
    

    And it works :). For example, is this web, which is IPv6 only

    It could be a matter of native dual stack on the providers end or some other mojo they might be using. We have native dual stack on our Denver VM Nodes.

    Though I still have to run a tunnel broker at home to test it all, and yes I saw the v6 only side when I clicked on the link above.

  • @FRCorey : Thank you for visiting :)

    In normal condition, I will not be able to access my IPv6 website. Because my current ISP in Indonesia not supporting IPv6 yet, so I have to use Squid 3.1 for serving the IPv6 website
