Syntax in postgresql.conf

From

A comment in postgresql.conf on Debian says:

"
          # comma-separated list of addresses;
          # defaults to 'localhost', '*' = all
"
But when I try

listen_addresses = '192.168.0.1', 'localhost'

I get

$sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.1 restart
 * Restarting PostgreSQL 8.1 database server
 * Error: Invalid line 53 in /etc/postgresql/8.1/main/postgresql.conf

 Why?

 Regards
 Johann

I believe you would need it to be:
    listen_addresses = '192.168.0.1,localhost'

ie, Don't close the quotes between your CSV's

Thanks Phillip.  That did it.
