OK, very short introduction to networking basics:
"IP" is the basis for all internet communication (hence the name, "Internet Protocol"). For some aspects of this protocol it is necessary that a host can communicate with itself, just like it would be another host (like you look at yourself in the mirror). For this there is a special address, which does not belong to a certain host at all, but to each host: 127.0.0.1. This is called the "loopback" address every host can use this to connect internally to itself.
So far, so good. Alas, the classical IP (which, in fact, is "IP v4") is getting to its limits in many ways. One of the aspects where IP (v4) is starting to experience problems is the address room: the classical 4-byte address is simply not providing enough numbering space to accomodate for all the devices needing to access the internet (which needs a unique IP address as a prerequisite). Therefore IP v6 (or "IPng - next generation"; don't ask what happened to v5) provides a much bigger address space. In this new address space "::1" is the new loopback address.
I suppose you need to either deactivate IP v6 somewhere and/or activate "IP v4 only" to get rid of the "::1", because most probably PHP, as a network-aware language, automatically translates "127.0.0.1" to "::1" back and forth.
I know this won't help you in finding the problem directly, but at least you should now know what to look for and why.
I hope this helps.

softwareupdate
softwareupdate(8) BSD System Manager's Manual softwareupdate(8)
NAME
softwareupdate -- system software update tool
SYNOPSIS
softwareupdate command [args ...]
DESCRIPTION
Software Update checks for new and updated versions of your software based on information about your computer and current software.
Invoke softwareupdate by specifying a command followed by zero or more args.
softwareupdate requires admin authentication for all commands except --list. If you run softwareupdate as a normal admin user, you will be
prompted for a password where required. Alternatively, you can run softwareupdate as root and avoid all further authentication prompts.
The following commands are available:
-l | --list
List all available updates.
-i | --install
Each update specified by args is downloaded and installed. args can be one of the following:
-r | --recommended
All updates that are recommended for your system. These are prefixed with a * character in the --list output.
-a | --all All updates that are applicable to your system, including those non-recommended ones, which are prefixed with a -
character in the --list output. (Non-recommended updates are uncommon in any case.)
item ... One or more specified updates. The --list output shows the item names you can specify here, prefixed by the * or -
characters. See EXAMPLES.
-d | --download
Each update specified by args is downloaded but not installed. The values of args are the same as for the --install command.
Updates downloaded with --download can be subsequently installed with --install, or through the App Store (as long as they remain
applicable to your system). Updates are downloaded to /Library/Updates, but are not designed to be installed by double-clicking
the packages in that directory: always use --install or the App Store to actually perform the install.
--ignore identifier ...
Manages the per-machine list of ignored updates. The identifier is the first part of the item name (before the dash and version
number) that is shown by --list. See EXAMPLES.
--reset-ignored
Clears the per-machine list of ignored updates.
--schedule on | off
Manages the per-machine automatic (background) check preference.
-h | --help
Print command usage.
EXAMPLES
The following examples are shown as given to the shell:
softwareupdate --list
