   Hello,

   I'm wonderring if anyone has tried running with Apache/mod_wsgi and IPv4/IPv6 dual stack or has recommendations on doing so.

   The deployment.ini file requires you to specify an IP address for the host, so I'm not sure how we would enter both an IPv4 and IPv6 address. I did try adding both listen addresses in our Apache site config (typical setup from Docs) and it broke the site.

   Could we possibly leave the deployment.ini pointing to the IPv4 address then set up two identical vhost files, 1 for IPv4 and 1 for IPv6? This might be a really stupid idea, but I just don't understand the inner workings of the deployment.ini file, mod_wsgi, and Apache.

   The ip address in deployment.ini is only relevant for paster. As far as I'm aware MediaCore will work just fine with ipv6 if you use mod_wsgi (IIRC paster does not support ipv6).

   Thanks Felix! Good to hear that the deployment.ini IP address is not a concern. We must be getting something wrong in the Apache site config. I'll take another look.

   Can you keep us posted about the progress? I don't see dependencies on ipv4 in the code but I might be wrong and so far I don't have an ipv6 enabled instance in production.

   Sure thing. We managed to get our site working on IPv6 but then IPv4 was broken. We're trying to figure that out now. I think it's just a matter of getting the host OS and Apache configured properly. MediaCore seems to be neutral as you had mentioned.

   Good news! We were going down the wrong path trying to configure either MediaCore or Apache for IPv6 support. We started over. As it turns out, everything works perfectly with absolutely no change in configuration of MediaCore or Apache. By default Apache listens on port 80 for both IPv4 and IPv6. MediaCore seems to work fine when accessing via IPv6. All that is necessary is to have IPv6 working on the host OS.

   If using NginX, however, I believe there is some basic configuration that needs to be done.
