Hi, all.

I hope one of you could help me here. I was doing a little dselect updating today (see below for details) on Truman's Moodle server, moodle.truman.edu, and now I'm afraid the web server component of Moodle isn't working. Here is some relevant info:

*** Moodle's connection to the Internet is just fine-- pinging and ssh work a-OK.

*** Running "apachectl start" yields the message "/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd started," but if I immediately go to stop the web server using "apachectl stop," I get the error message, "/usr/sbin/apachectl stop: httpd (no pid file) not running." Clearly the server, if it runs at all, doesn't run for more than a few seconds.

*** The error message in my /var/log/apache/error.log file is "[crit] (97)Address family not supported by protocol: make_sock: failed to get a socket for address :: port 80."

*** One of the updates I did (via dselect) installed some ipv6 packages, as noted in the output below:

Get:1 http://limestone.truman.edu woody/ipv6 libwrap0 7.6-ipv6.1-3 [25.4kB]
Get:2 http://limestone.truman.edu woody/ipv6 ssh 1:3.6.1p2-8 [676kB]
Get:3 http://limestone.truman.edu woody/ipv6 tcpd 7.6-ipv6.1-3 [67.4kB]
Get:4 http://limestone.truman.edu woody/ipv6 apache 1.3.27-0.1.ipv6.r2 [361kB]
Get:5 http://limestone.truman.edu woody/ipv6 apache-common 1.3.27-0.1.ipv6.r2 [819kB]
Get:6 http://limestone.truman.edu woody/ipv6 wget 1.8.2-8 [364kB]


Any ideas why apache's not working for me now? As you can probably tell from the info I provided above, my hypothesis is that I inadvertently replaced the IPv4 apache package with the IPv6 package. If that's my problem, does anybody know how to "downgrade" to the IPv4 apache? I couldn't figure out how to do it using dselect.

Any help is certainly appreciated- and the sooner the better, since until apache is up and running again, folks aren't able to access Moodle. Thanks!
