Automatically prefix localhost connections

So, not making much progress. When trying to start a master node I get this:

WARNING: enabling “trust” authentication for local connections You can change this by editing pg_hba.conf or using the option -A, or –auth-local and --auth-host, the next time you run initdb.

Success. You can now start the database server using:

/usr/lib/postgresql/9.4/bin/postgres -D /pgdata/datacd p

or /usr/lib/postgresql/9.4/bin/pg_ctl -D /pgdata/datacd p -l logfile start

… and things fail from there. The thing is, PostgreSQL is running, as subsequent attempts to start it fail due to port 5432 already being bound.

We need to look into this further.

Well, if we NEED to have local available for initialization to work, why not automatically prefix it regardless of what’s in the parameter? That is, if the user just puts a public IP address, automatically prefix “localhost” to it?
