Apache, vHosts and IPv6.

I haven't tested this yet, but I think you need to combine the VirtualHost sections when they have the same ServerName. The Apache docs don't seem to cover how to do dual-stack.

 <virtualhost 178.79.166.195="" [2002:b24f:a6c3:1000::1]="">DocumentRoot /var/www/iwader.co.uk/web 

    ServerName iwader.co.uk 
    ServerAlias *.iwader.co.uk 
    ServerAdmin webmaster@iwader.co.uk</virtualhost>

Hmm still no avial, its only being accessed via. ipv4.

There is a strange side effect though that causes all my clients sites to be redirected to mine, however i can solve this problem by updating the sites vhost with the new NameVirtualHosts. I will do this once i can get my site online for ipv6 and update my clients.

It's using a 6to4 IP address. Clients typically prioritize IPv4 over 6to4, since 6to4 is just IPv4 only with overhead and bad routing. If you were using an HE tunnel, or London had native IPv6 (soon!), clients would prefer IPv6 over IPv4.

Is the accidentally missing from the copy/paste, or is it not there in the original? I could see omitting the closing tags causing this sort of thing to perhaps happen.

In any case, everything looks fine from here:

@hoopycat i only pasted the relevant info from the VirtualHost which is the first couple of lines, the rest of it is just php and logging configurations etc.

However i believe what mnordhoff is correct as i have accessed the page via. lynx and confirms it is accessible via. ipv6.

mnordhoff has it.

"As per RFC3484 §2.1 default policy table, having a 6to4 enabled LAN will mean that 6to4 IPv6 will only be used to communicate to a server if the server is having a 6to4 adress too (ie: 2002: prefix on its address) or if there is no IPv4 address assigned to the server name (ie: no A but an AAAA)."

I think that is your problem. It's working as intended, but not as desired in your use case. :)
