[users@httpd] Building Apache 2.2 without IPv6
All,
I want to build Apache 2.2.14 without any referrence to IPv6. I have removed IPv6 support from the Kernel, because I find it useless on a small home LAN.
How would I tell apr to leave out IPv6 when compiling?
Thanks,
Daniel Reinhardt

The first question is why do you want to do this? And why, If this is
just a small home LAN are you even compiling apache yourself.
(And actually IPv6 can be very usefull on a home lan, but that's another story)

Applying that same argument to any part of the kernel or network stack
someone out there might have no use for, how many kernel images a
distribution might have? This is of course not only absurd, it also
ignores loadable modules support in the kernel.
As to your suggestion for httpd (to stay at least slightly on-topic):
Sure there's a tension between "secure by default" (whoever still
claims this these days) and "lots of useful features enabled by
default", but since not binding httpd to IPv6 interfaces it is
trivially easy (as has been pointed out), why ruin it for everyone
else who might need it? (Should they all need to recompile? Or, again,
should distributions ship gazillion prepackaged versions of httpd,
each with a different set of enabled features?).
Also defaults are a bikeshed.

I got the package from http://httpd.apache.org via the download links. It
always detected IPv6 regardless of having --disable-ipv6 in my configure
options. This package for HTTPD didn't come from the Slackware
Developmental team. I have no IPv6 in my kernel, so why should I have it in
software I compile myself?
Consider this thread over and dealt with.

No, it isn't.
IPv6 defines an entire set of improved DNS interrogation techniques which
are vastly superior to the original, IPv4/Posix subset. getaddrinfo()
and getnameinfo() don't exist without IPv6 'support'. That support doesn't
have to include a single binding to an adapter, but those functions are part
of the IPv6 'spec'.
If you want to continue to belabor your arguments, this is a users list.
I'm sure other users will entertain your dialog.
But if APR *detected* IPv6 functions, that functionality is enabled. If
your packager dropped you an IPv6 enabled package and an IPv4 kernel, that
is their mistake and you need to move this dialog to their forum if you hope
to gain any results from your complaints.

I think everyone is being a bit harsh on this guy. All he wanted was
to disable IPv6, which is understandable. There have been OS
vulnerabilities that have been exposed in IPv4 only when IPv6 is
enabled (IIRC), so if the guy wants to run without IPv6, let him.
There is no need for this animosity or evangelism.
Disabling IPv6 is an option for both APR and apache, this user wanted
help with those options, and mostly got abuse. If you don't think it
was abuse, swap the words IPv6 for a religion of your choice.

I've been using Linux since 1996 and *all* the distributions come with
stuff I don't care to have (any number of window managers, none of which are
window managers I care to use so I end up having to install my preferred
one). Yes, I would love for the distributions not to include such packages,
but what I don't like someone else does.
And I, for one, *am* playing around with IPv6 on my home network, so I
don't mind IPv6 being installed. I do, however, with KDE and Gnome wasn't,
as I don't use those. Yet there they are, installed and ready to go.
I also fail to understand why you are so insistent upon removing IPv6. My
home router can't deal with IPv6 either, but the fact that the four computers
I have on my network support IPv6 hasn't been an issue. Yes, I can
understand not liking the space it takes up on the kernel (on my Linux
system, it reports taking up 242,657 bytes) and removing it if not needed,
but the IPv6 support in other applications isn't quite as large. I removed
IPv6 support from a program I wrote---only 70 lines of code removed (removed
command line options, usage statement, anything at all related to support of
IPv6) and the savings between the two versions: 1,287 bytes (and that's
with full debugging support and a non-optimized compilation).
Also, looking on my system, I see that sshd, X and DNS are using IPv6.
Have you checked all the other programs on your system?

It's not forced down your throat. You can safely ignore IPv6 if you're
not using it. Even if your linux machine enables IPv6 by default, and
starts and IPv6 interface you don't have to worry about things
breaking because of it. If your router doesn't route IPv6 you still
don't have to worry about some devices in your network bringing up
IPv6 interfaces.
Linux disrtro maintainers include IPv6 because the aim is to provide a
kernel that everyone can use, without having to recompile. Another aim
is to incourage people to actually start using IPv6. ISPs will soon
start to provide their customers with routers that support IPv6, so
this is in my opinion a wise decision. It's a bit like TV
manucfaturers including a DVB-T tuner in their offerings, even though
most people don't have a need for it, yet.

Actually it has everything to do with it. IPv6 is useless to me on a small
HOME LAN of 5 computers. It should be disabled by default, and an allowable
option by those who wish to use IPv6. It shouldn't be forced down peoples
throats. Its like how Linux/Unix Distribution Creaters forcing IPv6 in a
kernel when someone may not have a need for it or find it useless. They
should instead build their distributions with IPv4 enabled by default, and

I tried the above with no avail, and infact Apache failed to listen on IPv4
port 80 as one would hope. It still showed up as listening on the IPv6
interface via netstat -anp | grep 80. With no mention of 0.0.0.0:80 in
netstat.

regarding IPv6 and how to disable it in my environment. I didn't want
testimonials of why it is great, and why I should be converted. I do not
like not so well adopted protocols being enabled by default on my systems of
which I control.
My issue has been solved with due diligence, and due process on my part
getting help from this mailing lists.
Thank you,
Daniel

This has nothing to do with why to enable IPv6 in APR.
Look, the IPv6 API is far superior to the standard posix IPv4 functions.
IGNORE the danged IPv6 addresses, that isn't the point!!!
To make Apache httpd speak only IPv4 is trivial. Replace
Listen 80
with a sensible
Listen 0.0.0.0:80
which tells httpd to listen only on IPv4 adapters, all of them, on their
respective port 80's. And unless you tell it otherwise, it WON'T attempt
to listen on any IPv6 adapters.
And if IPv6 confuses you, PLEASE take a minute to look at :: syntax :)

IPv6 offers a lot more than just more IP addresses. One of the goals
is also to improve network autoconfiguration so network devices can
truly be "plug and play". Wich is a good feature to have for people
who don't want to be network admins, but still have a complex home
network. There are allready media streaming devices on the market that
rely on this.

You don't need to recompile apache if that is all you want. You can
safely ignore Apache's IPv6 capabilities.
This is why your request sounded a bit unusual to me.

I guess you're building with the system APR instead of the APR bundled
with httpd. (httpd picks up IPv6 settings from the APR it uses.)
Confirm that srclib/apr/include/apr.h did not get created, meaning
that you are using the system APR.
To build the bundled APR with httpd, allowing you to disable IPv6 in
APR, add --with-included-apr to your existing configure options
(including --disable-ipv6).
If you have third-party modules you use with httpd, it would be best
to recompile them to pick up the new APR setting.

Krist,
First of all I came here for help with disabling IPv6 not a testimony from
other users on how useful it is for a small LAN.
Give me one good reason why IPv6 is useful for a small home LAN where I can
use 192.168.0.0/16 and have more IP's then I can use.
I want to do this so all my daemons are listening on IPv4, so that my Home
Router can deal with it as it doesn't support IPv4 over IPv6 and vice versa.

The first question is why do you want to do this? And why, If this is
just a small home LAN are you even compiling apache yourself.
(And actually IPv6 can be very usefull on a home lan, but that's another
story)
Jeff,
I have done the below with --disable-ipv6 in my configure options, but it
still builds it with IPv6 Enabled.
