Can't access admin because of invalid remote_addr

[Richard]

hello,

I can't access admin because request.env.remote_addr is invalid.
From localhost request.env.remote_addr is defined as: '::1' and from
127.0.0.1 as: '::ffff:127.0.0.1'.

Has anyone seen this before?
Does it sound like a server configuration problem? I followed this
tutorial to set up lighttpd:

could this be an IPv6 related problem?

yes it is and I have seen it before. the IPV6 address does not pass
the validator. Let me look more into it.
