I have a database on a machine that does not know what localhost is. Yes, I
have 127.0.0.1, but I can't resolve localhost to it. I don't want to start a
caching dns, and don't want to change resolve.conf. Upon starting, postgres
gives error cannot bind to localhost. then starts accepting
Yes, it is there
127.0.0.1localhost
but when i strace postmaster on startup it never looks in /etc/hosts

localhost should be defined in your hosts file, which in most unixoid
environments is /etc/hosts. It is not an error.

Look at the hosts: line in /etc/nsswitch.conf. It needs to have the
word files in there.

Hi! I'm your friendly neighbourhood
Hi list
This is my first post here, and I've searched google but couldn't find the
solution.
I'm trying to run pg_autovacuum on all my databases. All my Debian sarge
machines use version 7.4.5-3
postgresql install
postgresql-client
The problem was in my resolve.conf, the nameserver I've set is my datacenter
provider who have localhost.provider.net point to 127.0.0.1 and postmaster
couldn't bind to that host. For whatever reason. It does not check /etc/hosts
too so I'll play with it on Mondey.
