Well, that setting is certainly wrong.  Perhaps you meant
listen_address='*'

I'd hate to contradict Tom, and since ^ is probably a typo, and you likely meant *, yes, that's likely, but be sure you understand the implications of listening on all interfaces first. Just saying from an IT point of view.

Terry,

It looks like typo in local line in pg_hba.conf. I work in pg8.4 and 9.1 but I think that there is nothing like 'trustit' in pg_hba.conf file in 9.2.

local all all trustit

Change this to

local all all trust
