Hello,

    i have Postgresql 9.3.5 installed and django 1.7 and till now it was
working fine.

    But now i am getting the following error while starting the server to
run my app :


Unhandled exception in thread started by <function
check_errors.<locals>.wrapper at 0xb2da8074>

    conn = _connect(dsn, connection_factory=connection_factory, async=async)
psycopg2.OperationalError: could not translate host name "localhost" to

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
