Why doesn't PostgreSQL change listen_address?

Question

PostgreSQL

Hello!
In config

/etc/postgresql/9.3/main/postgresql.conf

I set listen_address = '*'
I restart postgres and it still continues to listen to 127.0.0.1
Debian 7.5 on VirtualBox via Vagrant

Answer 1

I set listen_address = '*'
I restart postgres and it still continues to listen to 127.0.0.1

Everything is correct "127.0.0.1" matches the criterion "*". Although the question may not be fully worded...

Answer 2

Set listen_address = '0.0.0.0'

Answer 3

can you upload a copy of postgresql.conf somewhere and give a link?

Answer 4

127.0.0.1 is the so-called localhost. It is a loopback virtual network interface.
And you need to turn it off accordingly in the network interfaces if you do not want it to be available, but this is stupid, since half of your services may fall off.
