Validation emails say IPv6 address not found

Hi guys,

Not sure if this is a bug or something I'm doing wrong, but I've added IPv6 addresses to some of my domains and I'm getting reports in the validation emails that say things like:

IPv6 address : No active IPv6 address 2001:0ba8:01f1:f1de:0000:0000:00f5:0 found

When I run ifconfig to check however, they're definitely showing up (and I can definitely reach those sites on those IPs by telnetting to port 80 of each IP):

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:5e:00:02:51 inet addr:212.13.195.100 Bcast:212.13.195.255 Mask:255.255.254.0

Did I forget to configure something? The IP range was added to Virtualmin, and then they were assigned to the domains, as I was instructed in a previous ticket about IPv6.

This isn't really urgent, things are indeed working fine it's just some extra lines in the validation emails, but thought I should check in with you guys all the same.

Status: 
Closed (fixed)

Looks like a mismatch between the long and short forms of the IPv6 address ..

How did you add the addresses to your domains?

Ok, I see the cause now .. Virtualmin is incorrectly comparing two different IPv6 address formats (long vs short). I will fix this in the next release (3.85).

Reopening: I'm still seeing this issue in 3.85, unfortunately.

Are you still getting the exact same validation error?

Hi Jamie, yeah exact same error in the nightly emails. Here's one from last night's email: IPv6 address : No active IPv6 address 2001:0ba8:01f1:f1de:0000:0000:00f5:0 found

Ok, I found another bug in Virtualmin's code for canonicalizing IPv6 addresses that causes this to still fail :-(

It will be fixed in the 3.56 Virtualmin release.
