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) .
