The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 8171 Logged by: Trond Endrestøl Email address: trond.endres...@ximalas.info PostgreSQL version: 9.2.4 Operating system: FreeBSD/amd64 9.1-STABLE r250805 Description:
The log message: LOG: could not bind IPv6 socket: Can't assign requested address should be augmented to reveal the attempted address, thus making the lives of us poor db admins a lot easier. Likewise for any similar IPv4 related log messages. In fact all kinds of log/warning/error messages should be to the point and include all(!) relevant details and not just a vague description of what happened. The above log message was due to the file /etc/hosts containing the two lines: localhost fe80::1 localhost fe80:2::1 Changing these two lines to: localhost-6ll fe80::1 localhost-6ll fe80:2::1 made PostgreSQL much happier. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
