Operating system: debian 9, varnish version: 5.0.0



I have turned off IPv6 support on my machine and varnish crashes upon start with the following error:



Error: Cannot open socket: :6081: Address family not supported by protocol


I know this question has been asked here here, but it does not solve my problem. Also, I can't find any IP-related configuration option in the config files.



So, how can I run varnish cache without IPv6 support?

By default, the main listen address/port is specified in the DAEMON_OPTS variable in /etc/default/varnish file as -a :6081, which means both IPv4 and IPv6, port 6081.



Try explicitly specifying an IPv4 listen address with the port: for example, if your system's IP address is 192.168.100.1, edit the address/port option to -a 192.168.100.1:6081.
