Hello: I'm running postgresql 12.9 on Amazon Linux in AWS. My listen_addresses in postgresql.conf is configured like below: listen_addresses = '172.17.1.57,localhost' However, postgresql does not listen on 172..17.1.57. I can reproduce the phenomenon by simply rebooting the server and then run netstat -tulpn [root@ip-172-17-1-206 data]# netstat -tulpn | grep 5432 tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5432 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2605/postgres And there's nothing abnormal in the logs: 2022-02-09 15:59:36.906 UTC [2663] LOG: database system was shut down at 2022-02-09 15:59:20 UTC 2022-02-09 15:59:36.930 UTC [2605] LOG: database system is ready to accept connections I had to run: systemctl restart postgresql For 172.17.1.57 to listen [root@ip-172-17-1-206 data]# netstat -tulpn | grep 5432 tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5432 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4289/postgres tcp 0 0 172.17.1.57:5432 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4289/postgres Note that 172.17.1.57 is not the primary network interface. I created the network interface and attached it to the EC2 instance. My systemd config file for postgresql (/etc/systemd/system/postgresql.service) was copied from 18.3.
