The database started up fine. If you don't like the chatter in the log, fix your name resolution setup (/etc/hosts or DNS) so that it doesn't return a non-working translation of "localhost". It looks to me like it probably returns both IPv6 and IPv4 translations when the kernel will only take one of them. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
