PostgreSQL version: 9.4.4
Operating system: Windows 7
Description:
Hello,
According to PostgreSQL document, listen_addresses = '0.0.0.0' or '::' are
allowed.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/runtime-config-connection.html#GUC-LISTEN-ADDRESSES
But I found "pg_ctl -w ..." timeouts connection test on Windows with
listen_addresses = '0.0.0.0' or '::'.
I found this reason in src/bin/pg_ctl/pg_ctl.c
[test_postmaster_connection(bool)].
When pg_ctl tries to connect to postmaster, it uses "0.0.0.0" as the
target ip address. Unfortunately "0.0.0.0" is not a valid address on
Windows and it fails. Shouldn't pg_ctl translate "0.0.0.0" to
"127.0.0.1" in this case?
