Thread: fresh install of postgres 7.1 doesn't start postmaster with the "-i" flag

I used to run postgres 7.0
I just upgraded to postgres 7.1

my application wouldn't work until I added

 -o "-i"

to the pg_ctl
 line in /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql

( i am running redhat 6.2 )

the -i flag is of course to enable tcp networking.

I don't think i Had to do this with postgres 7.0,
is this omission in postgres 7.1 intentional?

I'm not sure if its intentional, but it seems likely since this can now be
set in postgresql.conf. Look here for more:

http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?runtime-config.html

(essentially, you just need to add a line that says: tcpip_socket = 1)

The omission is intentional.  As the other poster said, use the tcpip_socket
option in postgresql.conf, located in /var/lib/pgsql/data on your redhat
system.
