Thread:Project:Support desk/Mediawiki connection to MySQL on FreeBSD through IPv6

Hi,

I'm having issue figuring out how to set up connection between my Apache web server and MySQL database using IPv6 as oppose to IPv4. My Apache and MySQL are on separate VMs and I know you direct MediaWiki to its database using $wgDBserver in LocalSetting.php, but does $wgDBserver support an IPv6 address? As far as I know there is support for IPv6 in MediaWiki (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:IPv6_support) but I can't figure out how to set up the IPv6 connection, I've tried using IPv6 address like $wgDBserver = "fe80::1" but it doesn't work. My setup works with an IPv4 setup so I feel like there should be a way around it using IPv6.

If anyone has any suggestion that'd be great.
