Hello All,
I built PostgreSQL 7.4.2 on HPUX IPF platform. It works fine. But when I start the postmaster, I got
the following LOG message:
LOG: could not resolve "localhost": host nor service provided, or not known
$ postmaster -D /var/opt/iexpress/postgresql &
[1] 8995
$ LOG: could not resolve "localhost": host nor service provided, or not known
LOG: database system was shut down at 2004-03-30 16:07:50 IST
LOG: checkpoint record is at 0/2132D0
LOG: redo record is at 0/2132D0; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown TRUE
LOG: next transaction ID: 120; next OID: 16778
LOG: database system is ready
Is there any configuration to solve this problem?
Regs,

The machine's name service is broken. You probably need to fix
/etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/hosts, and/or /etc/resolv.conf.
"man switch" has some info about the first of these.
