Re: Cannot reach pg server using -h localhost

> and if you have it listen to 127.0.0.1, you see 127.0.0.1 in netstat?

Yes, netstat reflects exactly what I have in listen_addresses:

listen_addresses = '127.0.0.1, ::1'

~ netstat -an | grep 5432
tcp6       0      0  ::1.5432                    *.*                    LISTEN
tcp4       0      0  127.0.0.1.5432         *.*                    LISTEN

If it's just '127.0.0.1' it just lists the tcp4 line.

Yes.
