Make apt-get use IPv4 instead of IPv6

Filed under: Linux — Tags: , , , — admin @ 2:15 pm

I have try today to run some apt-get update and it take some time to figure the ipv6 ip . So I wanted to not use ipv6.
The fix is to un comment the line 54 from this file
/etc/gai.conf
precedence ::ffff:0:0/96 100

after this all run smooth.

The upgrade was run using

rpm -Uvh http://repo.webtatic.com/yum/centos/5/latest.rpm
yum --enablerepo=webtatic update php

Well everythins was ok, however after upgrade I see that if I run php -v i got some errors, memcache and ssh2 was installed using pecl and they should be reinstalled.
Well the pecl install memcache work well however
pecl install ssh2
return this error
Failed to download pecl/ssh2 within preferred state “stable”, latest release is version 0.11.3,

Well I did manage to install it by using
pecl install “channel://pecl.php.net/ssh2-0.11.3”
