The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 7677 Logged by: Peter Weber Email address: b...@ttyhoney.com PostgreSQL version: 9.1.6 Operating system: GNU/Linux (Fedora 17) Description:
Hello! I just started to use PostgreSQL here, and followed this guide[see 1]. As I am currently just playing around I wondered, if I can use IPv6. My network is not IPv6 capabable, but my machine is. So I used "[::1]" instead if "localhost" or "127.0.0.1". I doesn't work with "[::1]". Told me, that PostgreSQL is only listening to IPv4: $ ss -ln 127.0.0.1:5432 *:* So I modified the postgresql.conf: FROM #listen_addresses = 'localhost' TO listen_addresses = '::' And PostgresSQL starts to listen to IPv6: $ ss -ln :::5432 :::* What I expect: localhost means 127.0.0.1 if IPv4 is available OR ::1 if IPv6 is available. This is a logical OR, that means booth at the same time are possible.
