Error opening socket

[Tako Schotanus]

I can't get CGI:IRC to connect to the server, which is on the same machine and is available (tested with a "telnet localhost 6000"). The rror that appears in Apache's log is (referers removed for brevity):

[Wed Jul 22 14:22:22 2009] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Prototype mismatch: sub main::AF_INET6 () vs none at (eval 1) line 1.\r, referer: ...
[Wed Jul 22 14:22:22 2009] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Constant subroutine AF_INET6 redefined at (eval 1) line 1.\r, referer: ...
[Wed Jul 22 14:22:22 2009] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] [Wed Jul 22 14:22:22 2009] CGI:IRC Error: Error opening socket:  (main::load_socket 1206), referer: ...

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Cheers,

Hi, sorry for the delay, I had to wait until today to be able to test your suggestion.

Trying 127.0.0.1 did not change anything, the error in the log is still the same.

About disabling IPv6, it does not seem to be installed on the server! At least I can't find any reference to it in the network settings and doing an "ipconfig /all" does not show anything realted to IPv6 either.

Any other ideas maybe?

Thanks,
-Tako

It looks like a problem with IPv6.  If you disable IPv6 (or force the connection to 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost which seems to yield an IPv6 address on your machine) does it work better?
