This is close, but not quite there. You need to specify a port aswell;

        Listen [::1]:80

Will ask Apache to listen, on port 80, on the ::1 IPv6 loopback address.

This will not work, fe80::/16 is a link-local prefix, those addresses
are not routed like ordinary unicast addresses, and you cannot listen on
them without specifying an interface (which is not portable).

If you have IPv6 enabled on your host, and Apache has IPv6 built-in (an
almost certainty if you are using 2.0.x), all you need do is;

Listen 80

And Apache will listen in both IPv4 and IPv6.
