Hi All,
I'm a newbie to nginx and facing similar problem in that I cannot bind IPv6 address (link local or global):

My nginx.conf is like this:

mail {
# auth_http 127.0.0.1:8888/cgi-bin/auth.pl;
# auth_http 127.0.0.1:8888/auth.pl;
auth_http 127.0.0.1:8888/popproxy/auth;
auth_http_header X-Auth-Domain "a-sya.com";
auth_http_header X-PopProxy-Secret "popproxy";
# auth_http_header X-Auth-Domain "ngm1.ocn-test.ne.jp";
auth_http_timeout 15000ms;
# after_auth_http 127.0.0.1:8888/popproxy-auth/;
pop3_auth plain;
pop3_auth apop;
pop3_auth cram-md5;

proxy_pass_error_message on;
server {
listen 10110;
listen 127.0.0.1:10110;
listen [::]:10899;
# link local address
#listen [fe80::20c:29ff:fe86:7e4d]:10499; ***1
# global address
#listen [fd41:28b7:be11:0:20c:29ff:fe86:7e4d]:10119; ***2
protocol pop3;
server_name localhost;
proxy on;
}
}

If I uncomments the line marked "***1" , the following error occurs:
nginx: [emerg] bind() to [fe80::20c:29ff:fe86:7e4d]:10499 failed (22: Invalid argument)
If I uncomments the line marked "***2", the following error occurs:
nginx: [emerg] bind() to [fd41:28b7:be11:0:20c:29ff:fe86:7e4d]:10119 failed (99: Cannot assign requested address)

Could you tell me why these errors occur?
I think simply I forget some important configuration though..

Thanks and regards,
Soichiro MIKI
