(128)Network is unreachable: connect to listener on [::]:80

Apache has been giving me some interesting errors lately. In debugging I have come across a bunch of these in the otherwise largely ignored errors log.

(128)Network is unreachable: connect to listener on [::]:80
(128)Network is unreachable: connect to listener on [::]:443

So what does it mean? No idea. But I found the solution in the end to be to change the listen config.

Before: Listen 80
After: Listen 0.0.0.0:80

Same for 443 and you wont see those messages ever again. Oh and this happened under Solaris 10 by the way, never saw this on any other machine.
