IPv4 and IPv6 configuration for Windows operating systems

IBM HTTP Server supports IPv6 on Windows XP and 2003 operating systems. It does not support IPv6 on the Windows 2000 operating system.

Support for IPv6 on Windows operating systems is configured differently than other supported platforms. The Listen directive on Windows operating systems should always include either an IPv4 address or an IPv6 address. Any existing Listen directives that are not qualified with an IP address should be updated to include one, even if Windows IPv6 networking is not configured. Use 0.0.0.0 for the default IPv4 address and [::] for the default IPv6 address. Add the following line in httpd.conf configuration file to listen on IPv6 port 80:

Listen [::]:80

To accept connections over IPv4, configure Listen 0.0.0.0:80 or AfpaPort 80. Advanced fast path architecture (AFPA) is only supported for IPv4.

Configure Windows IPv6 networking before enabling the Listen directive for IPv6.
