This alone could be considered as bug already, but there is another issue: Enabling the IPv6 support in the configuration file /usr/local/etc/lighttpd.conf using the statement server.use-ipv6 = "enable" disables any IPv4 support in lighttpd. The server is unreachable via IPv4 when started using this configuration. >How-To-Repeat: Install lighttpd with Option WITH_IPV6 enabled: Add this line to the configuration file: server.use-ipv6 = "enable" Start lighttpd and try to connect via IPv4. >Fix: According to <http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/ticket/509>; this is a (Free)BSD-specific issue. Also it describes a workaround by adding this lines to /usr/local/etc/lighttpd.conf: server.use-ipv6 = "enable" $SERVER["socket"] == "0.0.0.0:80" { # listen on all ipv4 interfaces. } I suggest to either add this workaround to the default configuration when lighttpd is to be installed with IPv6 support, or add a source patch to the port that makes lighttpd behave on FreeBSD as on other operating systems until the problem is fixed upstream. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
