Обсуждение: error starting PostgreSQL

Hello! I was searching the archives of the site and I've found many posts
concerning problems with starting the postmaster, but noone reported such a
message:
StreamServerPort: bind() failed: Cannot assign requested address
I'm trying to use TCP/IP connection on port 5432. No other proceses use this
port. I've also tried other port - no effect. Can you help?

[ scratches head... ]  Maybe you have virtual_host set to something
invalid?  Or something's bollixed about 127.0.0.1 on your setup?
