This may be off topic, if so, I will take it elsewhere. That said, I am getting the following error when I start up PostgreSQL on 3.8 (installed via packages):
LOG: could not bind IPv4 socket: Can't assign requested address HINT: Is another postmaster already running on port 5432? If not, wait a few seconds and retry. WARNING: could not create listen socket for "localhost" I'm trying to get the server to listen on localhost:5432. I've set the following in postgresql.conf: listen_addresses = 'localhost' port = 5432 I get the above error regardless of whether I am restarting or shutdown all postmaster processes and then start them new. Is it possible that OpenBSD is blocking the connection to port 5432? If so, how do I correct this? Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks, Bill
