#9820 closed Bug Report - General (Fixed)
Upgraded to 'master', lost IPV4 connectivity

Description
Hi All,
Just upgraded to the latest 'master' build, or more specifically:
2011-05-31 18:06:35.643 mythbackend version: master [v0.25pre-2076-g4d772e0] www.mythtv.org
And upon reboot the frontend couldn't connect to the backend.
A quick prod around with netstat showed the backend was listening on an IP6 address, but not an IP4 address, disabling ipv6 on the next reboot seems to have solved the issue.
Is this intentional? (and if so, what do I need to reconfigure to make it all work proper like.), or if not, should I file a bug report?
Any chance you can provide the output of running the backend with -v sockets with IPv6 enabled, as well as the output of ifconfig, and netstat -antu ?
If you could pop that into a ticket in trac I'll see what I can track down.

the log is quite large, so I've attached it.

Thanks for the info and the logs!
Would you might testing it with an updated checkout? I put in some fixes in the last day or so that might clear it up for you.
If it still fails there are somethings I forgot to ask are :
- Is this a combo Backend/Frontend or seperate machines?
- Can you Send me the log output of starting up the frontend?

Hi Greg,
I've just updated to the latest master, the machine is rebooting now....
<time passes>
...
Well, that didn't work I'm afraid.
I'll try the patch when I get home in a few hours, see if that helps. :)
Cheers,
Ian

Didn't work I'm afraid.
I dunno if it's any use, but if I change line 203 in mythtv/programs/mythbackend/mainserver.cpp to use QHostAddress::Any it seems to work, further logging suggests 'gCoreContext->MythHostAddressAny()' is returning '::' (Assuming this should be '0.0.0.0'?)
Cheers,
Ian

Can you confirm for me if this is a combination fe/be box or are they on separate machines? And if they are on separate machines can you try manually telneting from the fe to the backend on port 6543 and see if you get a response (without your change in place?) your output show it is listenning so it's making me wonder if you or your distro have some sort of filter in place blocking all IPv6 traffic.
What distro is running on that backend?
Thanks
comment:8 by , 14 years ago
Hi Greg,
Sorry for the lateness of this reply.... :)
It's a combo FE/BE machine, running almost debian 6. (It was debian 5, myth stopped compiling, so I apt-get'd my way to whatever they call their unstable distro, this was not too long before deb 6 was released.)
It's however running a 3.0.4 kernel
ian@pvr:~$ uname -a Linux pvr 3.0.4-pvr #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 29 21:37:38 BST 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
Which part of my output, sorry, I'm a little confused? I've disabled IP6 (which forces the listening to happen on IP4), so am currently running an unmodified copy of whatever current was when compiled.
If I re-enable IP 6 I get the following:-
pvr:/home/ian# netstat -an --program | grep mythbackend tcp6 0 0 :::6543 :::* LISTEN 1682/mythbackend tcp6 0 0 :::6544 :::* LISTEN 1682/mythbackend udp 0 0 255.255.255.255:1900 0.0.0.0:* 1682/mythbackend udp 0 0 239.255.255.250:1900 0.0.0.0:* 1682/mythbackend unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 9433 1682/mythbackend unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 6921 1682/mythbackend unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 3917 1682/mythbackend unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 3892 1682/mythbackend unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 8730 1682/mythbackend unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 6902 1682/mythbackend unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 3884 1682/mythbackend unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 3881 1682/mythbackend unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 3879 1682/mythbackend unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 3861 1682/mythbackend unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 8677 1682/mythbackend unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 8311 1682/mythbackend unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 2693 1682/mythbackend pvr:/home/ian#
I've attached a couple of screenshots, hopefully they'll illustrate better....
If you want me to investigate what I changed I can look at this further over the weekend.

Ian

... just one more thing.
Just to confirm, there's no firewall at all running on this machine. (It's not internet facing.)

.... Just another one more thing... :)
This is the main connection to the backend, from another frontend, UPnP is listening correctly on IP4 when IP6 is enabled.
It's just the backend not listening on 6543 that's the issue....
Oh, as I forgot to format the previous cut'n'paste, here it is again...

Replying to mrrooster@…:
Ian, your netstat looks fine. Below is an example of a frontend connected over IPv4 with IPv6 enabled. Running v0.25pre-3814-g6cf957e on Mythbuntu 11.10 (3.0.0 kernel.)
bill@mc1:/etc$ sudo netstat -pant|grep mythbackend tcp6 0 0 :::6543 :::* LISTEN 1683/mythbackend tcp6 0 0 :::6544 :::* LISTEN 1683/mythbackend tcp6 0 0 192.168.1.223:6543 192.168.1.200:44216 ESTABLISHED 1683/mythbackend tcp6 0 0 192.168.1.223:6543 192.168.1.200:44215 ESTABLISHED 1683/mythbackend
I suspect some kind of configuration issue.
If you want to put a copy of the failing frontend log on pastbin.com, I'd be happy to look at it. Or return to the mythtv-users list (or send private mail to keemllib at gmail.)

No luck I'm afraid.

Patch forthcoming to listen specifically to the addresses specified in the database, rather than a blanket "any" that is subject to the bindv6only issues.
