Failed to work out externally visible IP address

Submitted by charliefordintegra on Tue, 02/02/2021 - 05:58

I recently disabled IPv6 by adding these lines to /etc/sysctl.conf

net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1 net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=1

then run sudo sysctl -p

and now when trying to create a new virtual server, it says:

Failed to work out externally visible IP address

I have reversed the above steps and still have the same issue.

I tried setting

Network interface for virtual addresses from Detect automatically to the server IP

and Default virtual server IPv4 address to From network interface

Status: 
Closed (fixed)
Virtualmin version:

Hi,

Thanks for the heads up.

We are working on this issue, as software.virtualmin.com is down.

Hey,

Okay, so it's nothing I have done and it should resolve itself?

Is this going to be back online today?

I just saw this, changed it and then software.virtualmin.com come back online :)

Does this happen often?

Should I keep that change permanent or change it back to default to continue using software.virtualmin.com?

Keep it back to defaults. This doesn't happen often.

FYI, I have also added code to cache the external IP (which rarely changes) so that a temporary failure on our side won't cause errors like this.
