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

[Andreas Olsson]

@Jonathan: You are right, I should test more and speculate less. I guess
I got a bit carried away. Thanks for pointing it out.

Regarding the part of listening on ipv6 I actually did some testing, on
a server install of 9.04. This is the result I got.

andreas at pc13267v1:~$ sudo netstat -ntlp | grep 80
[sudo] password for andreas: 
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:80              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      2041/apache2

Now today, testing it on a Desktop install, I get the following
interesting results

* Doing a reboot *
andreas at pc13267v5:~$ sudo netstat -ntlp | grep 80
[sudo] password for andreas: 
tcp6       0      0 :::80                   :::*                    LISTEN      2438/apache2    
andreas at pc13267v5:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
 * Restarting web server apache2                                                                            ... waiting                                                                                        [ OK ]
andreas at pc13267v5:~$ sudo netstat -ntlp | grep 80
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:80              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      2814/apache2  

(Note that Apache is switching from ipv6 to ipv4 as it is manually
restarted)

Removing NetworkManager from my Desktop install, and instead configure
eth0 (using dhcp) from /etc/network/interfaces makes my desktop install
behave like my server install.

* Doing a reboot *
andreas at pc13267v5:~$ sudo netstat -tlpn | grep 80
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:80              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      2545/apache2
