Hi! It appears that when I try to configure listen_addresses in postgresql.conf (on Windows) with '0.0.0.0' , pg_ctl doesn't properly detect that server has started and blocks forever.
C:\pg\pgsql>bin\pg_ctl.exe -D data -w start waiting for server to start..................................................... .......... stopped waiting pg_ctl: could not start server Examine the log output. (although, the postgres.exe processes were started) If I change listen_addresses to '*', then pg_ctl exits fine after starting up. The documentation at the following link still mentions that one could use '0.0.0.0' to listen on all IPv4 addresses: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/runtime-config-connection.html#RUNTIME-CONFIG-CONNECTION-SETTINGS Did something change in 9.1.1 in this area or am I missing something? -- Deepak
