Hostname change - pgsql won't start

I had to reboot my RH9 server, now Postmaster won't start:

I had to change my hostname recently, I am guessing that had something to do
with it. I have tried modifying to the pg_hba.conf file to allow any host
to connect, but that doesn't seem to help.

Are there any other places where the hostname or IP address is specified and
would restrict access?

Thanks.

Have you checked the log file? Usually in /var/log/pgsql any time I've
had problems, the log file has told me exactly what I was doing wrong.

To my surprise last month, my dad wanted to start dabbling in PHP and MySQL or pgSQL. I've been helping him out a bit. He's into athletic medicine and wants to have a website to help athletes and physical therapists improve performance. His current web hosting provider -- Earthlink -- doesn't give him anything but PHP 3.0.x. I want to get him at least on PHP 4.2.x (or better) along with either MySQL or PostgreSQL (pgSQL) support. I've...

I've installed both 32-bit and 64-bit executables of 7.4.5 on ia64 running HP-UX B.11.23. The 32-bit version works fine and accepts both local and remote connections. The 64-bit version, however, rejects any/all attempts to connect with the following message: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "???", user "dba", database "template1" These are using identical pg_hba.conf files. Any clues?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
