Well, there's nothing in my hosts file except adding an additional reference to localhost
Code:
#Hosts File
127.0.0.1 localhost PostgreSQL
But that shouldn't be any kind of problem.
I have many programs currently binding to localhost (127.0.0.1) with no trouble, so there's nothing wrong with my networking stack or anything odd like that going on.
What port in particular is it trying to bind on? Perhaps something has that port open already. But even so, there should be some more elegant solution to that problem than a low-level java error that simply fails to launch the app at all.
Can I get a version that doesn't try that check, and I can just manually ensure I'm not multiple-loading? (which I never do - I run it, update, and then quit the app each time, anyway)
