Subject: listen_addresses = '*' ok, specific address(es) no
Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2006 10:05:26 -0400
Message-ID: <7F9DD4F9-A334-4A52-8501-1DA780CD4D2E@knauth.org> (raw)

I'm running PostgreSQL 8.1.3.  In my postgresql.conf, the following  
works:
    listen_addresses = '*'

but the following does not:
    listen_addresses = '192.168.1.33'

I get an error:
    WARNING:  could not create listen socket for "192.168.1.33"
    FATAL:  could not create any TCP/IP sockets

I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.6 on PPC, if that makes a difference.

For now, listen_addresses = '*' works for me, but I was curious why I  
couldn't use the more restrictive listen_addresses.

Geoffrey
