Comment 1 for bug 33996

I found how to fix this:

edit the postgres.conf file for the 7.4 version:

sudo vi /etc/postgresql/7.4/main/postgresql.conf

and change the line 30 which is as follows:

# tcpip_socket = false

to:

tcpip_socket = true

then it works. This should be easy to fix for the next ubuntu release (or update).

best wishes
