psql -p 5495 -d support_tool -U gls -h localhost

I am connecting the psql from local and PHP from remote system. I was
also able to access the postgres from the same system using C program

> 3) What is listen_addresses set to in postgresql.conf?

I am running the postmaster with

postmaster -i -D /path

I am running with the following version and I dont have the privilege
to update the existing versions.  listen_addresses option is not
available in the existing version

postmaster (PostgreSQL) 7.4.2
PHP 5.2.6

Today I found one issue.. where I was not able to run the postmaster
with -h option ( that is not other than localhost)

The error what I got is that it was not able to create the listening
socket.

LOG:  could not bind IPv4 socket: Can't assign requested address
HINT:  Is another postmaster already running on port 5496? If not,
wait a few seconds and retry.
FATAL:  could not create listen socket for "IP address"

Please help me to resolve the issue. I dont have root privilege to
access the system

Thanks,
Shankar
