Try commenting out (#) ::1 from /etc/hosts, which is loopback for IPv6.

Afterwards try to a full Apache restart with

apachectl stop
apachectl start

If you want to get more experimental, you can go ahead and completely
remove IPv6 support from your kernel, although I don't see this as
necessary.

Hope this helps.
