IPv6 stack is enabled in the kernel but there is no interface that has ::1 address assigned
Freeipa installation gives following error while Installing.
Error:
[root@freeipa /]# ipa-server-installipapython.admintool: ERROR IPv6 stack is enabled in the kernel but there is no interface that has ::1 address assigned. Add ::1 address resolution to 'lo' interface. You might need to enable IPv6 on the interface 'lo' in sysctl.conf.
ipapython.admintool: ERROR The ipa-server-install command failed. See /var/log/ipaserver-install.log for more information
Solution:
Edit the sysctl.conf file and add following entry
[root@freeipa /]# vi /etc/sysctl.conf
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 0
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 0
Run sysctl -p to load the config
[root@freeipa /]# sysctl -p
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 0
[root@freeipa /]#
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 0
[root@freeipa /]#
verify that ipv6 Enabled.
[root@freeipa /]# ip a
