I am using Apache webserver 2.2.11.At present i am able to browse my website using IPv4 loopback address.Instead of this IPv4 loopback address(127.0.0.1) i need to use IPv6 loopback address(::1) to browse the website.I have already tried to add this address in httpd.config

Listen [::1]:80

But apache server didn't start after this change due to the configuration error.

That config line works for me. It is not a syntax error. What error are you getting? – Celada
"The configuration error" - what configuration error? – Flexo
[crit] (OS 11004)The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found. : alloc_listener: failed to set up sockaddr for [::1] Syntax error on line 54 of C:/Program Files (x86)/Sec/xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Listen setup failed – Prasanth V J

I fixed this issue by installing the latest Apache(2.4) web server.And add the line Listen [::1]:80 in the configuration file( httpd.conf)
