[Bug 370542] Re: Accessing http://localhost gives a 403 Forbidden when using apache "allow localhost" directive

[Martin Zuther]

Hi!

Damn, you're fast... :)

I tried Jonathan's suggestions (A) and (B) as listed under EVIDENCE, and
each one resolved the issue.

Still, I think there's more to it than "IPv6 awareness" alone.
Otherwise, running "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart" wouldn't change
anything, would it?  By the way, "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload" does
NOT help at all, suggesting that this problem might lie outside of
Apache's config files.

@Andreas: I'm using the Gnome NetworkManager applet, so it's session
based.  Is that what you meant?

BTW, I always reinstall my complete system using the graphical installer
and then restore (and of course thoroughly adapt) my important settings
using a config file backup software I wrote.  When diffing the old and
new "/etc/hosts" files, the "localhost" entry in the ::1 line of
"/etc/hosts" was clearly new, but I kept the addition.
