I have two virtual machine on my computer. I have Apache installed on one of them (would be referred to as "server" after this), and I have set the Apache to listen to an IPv6. And when I enter the IPv6 into web browser on the "server" I see my index.html
file. so far so good ...
I want to be able to open a web browser on the other virtual machine("client") and see the index.html
. But, when I try entering the IPv6 of the "server" in a web browser on the "client" I get an Unable to establish a connection to the server
error.
I can ping6
"client" from "server" and vice verse. There is only one thing to mention. ifconfig
of the "server" shows 3 different IPv6 which two of them are scoped Global
and there is one Link
scope IPv6. On the "client" there is only one Link
scope IPv6 though. I only can ping the Link
IPv6s. Pinging other IPv6s would result connect:Network is unreachable
. And if I set Apache to listen to Link
IPv6, The rcapache2 start
will fail the job
.
Any thoughts on what I am probably missing/doing wrong?
