The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 2642 Logged by: Christoph Zwerschke Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.1.4 Operating system: Win XP Description: Connection problems without IPv6 Details:
I am using PostgreSQL 8.1.4 on Win XP, installed from the official binary. When I start the PostgreSQL service, and I have my LAN network interface activated with TCP/IP installed, but IPv6 deinstalled, I cannot connect to the PostgreSQL database. In the log file, I get the following error message: "LOG: could not receive data from client: An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket." This problem does *not* happen if: - the LAN network interface is deactivated or - the TCP/IP protocol is deactivated or - the TCP/IP protocol is activated, and TCP/IP v6 protocol is installed (must not be activated) It happens only if: - the LAN network interface is activated and - the TCP/IP protocol is activated and - the TCP/IP v6 protocol is not installed If this problem cannot be fixed, it should at least be mentioned in the Windows FAQ (http://pginstaller.projects.postgresql.org/faq/FAQ_windows.html) . ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
