Apache not starting, how do i disable IPv6?

[diskis]

I'm running Apache on Gentoo Linux, and stupidly did a global update. It updated Apache to 2.0.48-r1, and after the update Apache refused to restart and gave the following error message:

[Wed Mar 10 00:45:03 2004] [crit] (92)Protocol not available: make_sock: for address [::]:443, apr_socket_opt_set: (IPV6_V6ONLY)
no listening sockets available, shutting down


I have this in my apache2.conf: Listen (my ip):80
which according to the manual should disable IPv6. I should have nothing related to IPv6 installed, so how do I get apache to stick to IPv4 and start up?

I'm not an Apache2 guy myself, but what I'd do is remove and reinstall Apache. I find that the support for some modules in 2.x is not as good as in 1.x, but either way, back up your httpd.conf and then once reinstalled, edit the new httpd.conf with the relevant changes for your server.
