Обсуждение: Running postgresql on localhost
Hi everyone, Probably a bit of a basic config problem but any help would be really appreciated I can currently log in fine to psql like so, #psql template1 -p 5432 this by default logs you into the local socket but unfortuanately it does not work when I try #psql template1 -h localhost and returns the error psql: unknown host name: localhost ( a similar login with mysql works fine ) This has been quite frustrating as it means I can't login to the database with tools such as pgadmin Thanks in advance Chris Strachan chrisstrachan at msn.com

It's not Postgres-specific. regards, tom lane
