IPv6 not enabled or working

Post by andrewm659 » 2020/03/27 14:45:40

I am trying to rebuild my FreeIPA server and I am getting the following error.

Code: Select all

[root@freeipa001 ~]$ sudo ipa-server-install --setup-dns --setup-kra --setup-adtrust --auto-reverse --ssh-trust-dns --auto-forwarders --allow-zone-overlap
IPv6 stack has to be enabled in the kernel and some interface has to have ::1 address assigned. Typically this is 'lo' interface. If you do not wish to use IPv6 globally, disable it on the specific interfaces in sysctl.conf except 'lo' interface.
The ipa-server-install command failed. See /var/log/ipaserver-install.log for more information
[root@freeipa001 ~]$ 

Code: Select all

[root@freeipa001 ~]# sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=0
sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/lo/disable_ipv6: No such file or directory
[root@freeipa001 ~]#

IPv6 is enabled by default. What have you done to disable it?

What's the output from uname -r ?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
