This works: This rang a bell with me, and a bit of digging found this thread: http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/6804.1413911806@xxxxxxxxxxxxx While that's not the same symptom you're describing, it does point up that OS X will expand "localhost" as pretty much "whatever it says in /etc/hosts". You might want to make sure that that expansion is sane, ie 127.0.0.1 and ::1 and nothing else. On my not-misbehaving-now Yosemite laptop, /etc/hosts contains ## # Host Database # # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface # when the system is booting. Do not change this entry. ## 127.0.0.1 localhost 255.255.255.255 broadcasthost ::1 localhost However, assuming that that's not your problem, I'd suggest cranking up log_min_messages to DEBUG5 and seeing if anything more gets reported in the postmaster log. Another thing worth checking is whether "-h 127.0.0.1" and "-h ::1" behave the same as "-h localhost". That would help rule out (or not) DNS issues. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
