I'm sorry but this is wrong, localhost IS 127.0.0.1 and IS a fundamental
component of TCP/IP. UNIX Domain sockets - known to most as file
descriptors - are entirely different!
localhost != UNIX Domain sockets!
I wish people would read up on this to stop perpetuating the
misunderstanding of 'localhost' and UNIX domain sockets.
From below, and from what another has already mentioned - that seems
more plausible - is that with the listen_address = '*' and with IPv6
enabled, there is potentially a confliect there.

That's because your listen_addresses parameter points to localhost,
and that means that your will listen for connections through unix
sockets instead of via TCP/IP.
In order to change this, you'll need to replace the string localhost
with the proper value. (A bad habit, to replace the 'localhost' with a
'*').
Read the man page :)
# - Connection Settings -
listen_addresses = 'localhost' # what IP address(es) to listen on;
# Would be something like:
listen_addresses = '*'
Best wishes,

Hi to all,
I am facing an issue while changing database port in the new version
8.1.
The previous version which i used was 7.3 and for the port change i
used to
change in postgresql.conf
From PG 7.3
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# CONNECTIONS AND AUTHENTICATION
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# - Connection Settings -
#tcpip_socket = false
#max_connections = 100
# note: increasing max_connections costs about 500 bytes of shared
# memory per connection slot, in addition to costs from shared_buffers
# and max_locks_per_transaction.
#superuser_reserved_connections = 2
port = 5432
#unix_socket_directory = ''
#unix_socket_group = ''
#unix_socket_permissions = 0777 # octal
#virtual_host = '' # what interface to listen on; defaults to any
#rendezvous_name = '' # defaults to the computer name
# - Security & Authentication -
#authentication_timeout = 60 # 1-600, in seconds
#ssl = false
#password_encryption = true
#krb_server_keyfile = ''
#db_user_namespace = false
Now for the port change in the newer version i tried to change the
same as
shown below in postgresql.conf.
From PG 8.1
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# CONNECTIONS AND AUTHENTICATION
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# - Connection Settings -
listen_addresses = 'localhost' # what IP address(es) to listen on;
# comma-separated list of addresses;
# defaults to 'localhost', '*' = all
port = 5478
max_connections = 100
# note: increasing max_connections costs ~400 bytes of shared memory per
# connection slot, plus lock space (see max_locks_per_transaction). You
# might also need to raise shared_buffers to support more connections.
#superuser_reserved_connections = 2
#unix_socket_directory = ''
#unix_socket_group = ''
#unix_socket_permissions = 0777 # octal
#bonjour_name = '' # defaults to the computer name
# - Security & Authentication -
#authentication_timeout = 60 # 1-600, in seconds
#ssl = off
#password_encryption = on
#db_user_namespace = off
# Kerberos
#krb_server_keyfile = ''
#krb_srvname = 'postgres'
#krb_server_hostname = '' # empty string matches any keytab entry
#krb_caseins_users = off
# - TCP Keepalives -
# see 'man 7 tcp' for details
#tcp_keepalives_idle = 0 # TCP_KEEPIDLE, in seconds;
# 0 selects the system default
#tcp_keepalives_interval = 0 # TCP_KEEPINTVL, in seconds;
# 0 selects the system default
#tcp_keepalives_count = 0 # TCP_KEEPCNT;
# 0 selects the system default
But i am getting an error as mentioned below
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: Connection refused.
Check that the hostname and port are correct and that the postmaster is
accepting TCP/IP connections.
What are the changes that i have to do for changing port.
If i am replacing it to 5432, it is working fine.
I had a great support and help from this mailing team and i expect
the same.
Thanks to all in advance.
Regards
Mohamed Fazil
