To check if your Nginx server support Ipv6, you can use this command:
nginx -V
Here the example with the server that support Ipv6
[root@tutorialspots ~]# nginx -V nginx version: nginx/1.9.6 built by clang 3.4.2 (tags/RELEASE_34/dot2-final) built with LibreSSL 2.2.4 TLS SNI support enabled configure arguments: --with-ld-opt='-lrt -ljemalloc -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-rpath,/usr /local/lib' --with-cc-opt='-m32 -mtune=generic -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param= ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wno- deprecated-declarations -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-unused-const-variable -Wno-co nditional-uninitialized -Wno-mismatched-tags -Wno-c++11-extensions -Wno-sometime s-uninitialized -Wno-parentheses-equality -Wno-tautological-compare -Wno-self-as sign -Wno-deprecated-register -Wno-deprecated -Wno-invalid-source-encoding -Wno- pointer-sign -Wno-parentheses -Wno-enum-conversion' --sbin-path=/usr/local/sbin/ nginx --conf-path=/usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf --with-ipv6 --with-http_ssl_m odule --with-http_v2_module --with-http_gzip_static_module --with-http_stub_stat us_module --with-http_sub_module --with-http_addition_module --with-http_image_f ilter_module --with-http_secure_link_module --with-http_realip_module --with-htt p_geoip_module --with-openssl-opt=enable-tlsext --add-module=../ngx-fancyindex-n gx-fancyindex --add-module=../ngx_cache_purge-2.3 --add-module=../nginx-accesske y-2.0.3 --add-module=../nginx-http-concat-master --add-module=../openresty-memc- nginx-module-4f6f78f --add-module=../openresty-srcache-nginx-module-ffa9ab7 --ad d-module=../ngx_devel_kit-0.2.19 --add-module=../set-misc-nginx-module-0.29 --ad d-module=../echo-nginx-module-0.58 --add-module=../redis2-nginx-module-0.12 --ad d-module=../ngx_http_redis-0.3.7 --add-module=../lua-nginx-module-0.9.16 --add-m odule=../lua-upstream-nginx-module-0.03 --add-module=../lua-upstream-cache-nginx -module-0.1.1 --add-module=../nginx_upstream_check_module-0.3.0 --add-module=../ nginx-module-vts --add-module=../headers-more-nginx-module-0.261 --with-openssl= ../libressl-2.2.4 --with-libatomic --with-threads --with-stream --with-stream_ss l_module --with-pcre=../pcre-8.37 --with-pcre-jit --add-module=../ngx_pagespeed- 1.9.32.10-beta
you see –with-ipv6.
If your nginx server doesn’t support ipv6, you won’t see it, and you will get this error:
[root@tutorialspots ~]# service nginx restart nginx: [emerg] the INET6 sockets are not supported on this platform in "[2001:19 f0:6000:9bee:5400:00ff:fe1e:08eb]:80" of the "listen" directive in /usr/local/ng inx/conf/conf.d/tutorialspots.com.conf:14 nginx: configuration file /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf test failed
How to fix it?
You must recompile Nginx on your server.
Step 1: Open file /usr/local/src/centminmod/centmin.sh
You must place this line:
NGINX_IPV='y'
then verify in this file have these lines:
# General Configuration NGINXUPGRADESLEEP='6' NSD_INSTALL=y # Install NSD (DNS Server) NSD_VERSION='3.2.18' # NSD Version NTP_INSTALL=y # Install Network time protocol daemon NGINXPATCH=y # Set to y to allow NGINXPATCH_DELAY seconds time before Nginx configure and patching Nginx NGINXPATCH_DELAY='1' # Number of seconds to pause Nginx configure routine during Nginx upgrades STRIPNGINX='y' # set 'y' to strip nginx binary to reduce size NGINX_INSTALL=y # Install Nginx (Webserver) NGINX_DEBUG=n # Enable & reinstall Nginx debug log nginx.org/en/docs/debugging_log.html & wiki.nginx.org/Debugging NGINX_HTTP2=y # Nginx http/2 patch https://community.centminmod.com/threads/4127/ NGINX_GEOIP=y # Nginx GEOIP module install NGINX_SPDY=n # Nginx SPDY support NGINX_STREAM=y # http://nginx.org/en/docs/stream/ngx_stream_core_module.html NGINX_RTMP=n # Nginx RTMP Module support https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module NGINX_FLV=n # http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_flv_module.html NGINX_MP4=n # Nginx MP4 Module http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_mp4_module.html NGINX_AUTHREQ=n # http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_auth_request_module.html NGINX_SECURELINK=y # http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_secure_link_module.html NGINX_FANCYINDEX=y # http://wiki.nginx.org/NgxFancyIndex NGINX_VHOSTSTATS=y # https://github.com/vozlt/nginx-module-vts NGINX_PAGESPEED=y # Install ngx_pagespeed NGINX_PAGESPEEDGITMASTER=n # Install ngx_pagespeed from official github master instead NGXPGSPEED_VER='1.9.32.11-beta' NGINX_PAGESPEEDPSOL_VER='1.9.32.11' NGINX_PASSENGER='n' # Install Phusion Passenger requires installing addons/passenger.sh before hand NGINX_WEBDAV=n # Nginx WebDAV and nginx-dav-ext-module NGINX_EXTWEBDAVVER='0.0.3' # nginx-dav-ext-module version NGINX_LIBATOMIC=y # Nginx configured with libatomic support NGINX_HTTPREDIS=y # Nginx redis http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpRedisModule NGINX_HTTPREDISVER='0.3.7' # Nginx redis version NGINX_PCREJIT=y # Nginx configured with pcre & pcre-jit support NGINX_PCREVER='8.37' # Version of PCRE used for pcre-jit support in Nginx NGINX_HEADERSMORE='0.28' NGINX_CACHEPURGEVER='2.3' NGINX_STICKY='n' # nginx sticky module https://bitbucket.org/nginx-goodies/nginx-sticky-module-ng NGINX_STICKYVER='1.2.5' NGINX_UPSTREAMCHECK='y' # nginx upstream check https://github.com/yaoweibin/nginx_upstream_check_module NGINX_UPSTREAMCHECKVER='0.3.0' NGINX_OPENRESTY='y' # Agentzh's openresty Nginx modules
Step 2: recompile Nginx
cd /usr/local/src/centminmod/ ./centmin.sh
Go to menu 4
[root@tutorialspots centminmod]# ./centmin.sh -------------------------------------------------------- Centmin Mod 1.2.3-eva2000.08 - http://centminmod.com -------------------------------------------------------- Centmin Mod Menu -------------------------------------------------------- 1).

Exit -------------------------------------------------------- Enter option [ 1 - 24 ] 4 -------------------------------------------------------- Custom configure CSF settings...set Do you want to run YUM install checks ? [y/n] This will increase your upgrade duration time wise. Check the change log centminmod.com/changelog.html to see if any Nginx or PHP related new additions which require checking YUM prequisites are met. If no new additions made, you can skip the YUM install check to speed up upgrade time. [y/n]:
Type y, then, Nginx will be recompile.
