The IP ip of ::1 is identical to 127.0.0.1. If you want see the address like 192.168.x.x then you may try with another computer for example you set computer A as local server then you open the system on computer B (must be on the same network), you will see the different address printed.

You may try and give feedback.

Your Apache is listening for IPv6 connections by default (::1 i.e. localhost). If you just want IPv4, try to disable IPv6 connections in your Apache configuration.

If you want to get a different IP address, then you'll need to connect to the server through a different network interface.
