Hello All, I built postgresql on HPUX IPF(11.22) platform. It works fine. But I have warning message "could not resolve "localhost": host nor service provided, or not known" when I start the postmaster. I have given entries in pg_hba.conf file to access also. $ ./postmaster -D /var/opt/iexpress/postgresql & [1] 2410 $ LOG: could not resolve "localhost": host nor service provided, or not known LOG: database system was shut down at 2004-03-26 00:54:37 PST LOG: checkpoint record is at 0/9DE158 LOG: redo record is at 0/9DE158; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown TRUE LOG: next transaction ID: 536; next OID: 17142 LOG: database system is ready $ Is there any configuration missed?
