I'm manually replacing -8.3.3 with -9.0.1 I have the old data/ directory and pg_dumpall files safely stored. Following the directions at: <http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/install-upgrading.html>, step #5 I see this: postgres@salmo:~$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres". This user must also own the server process. The database cluster will be initialized with locales COLLATE: C CTYPE: en_US MESSAGES: en_US MONETARY: en_US NUMERIC: en_US TIME: en_US The default database encoding has accordingly been set to LATIN1. The default text search configuration will be set to "english". fixing permissions on existing directory /usr/local/pgsql/data ... initdb: could not change permissions of directory "/usr/local/pgsql/data": Operation not permitted The directory /usr/local/pgsql/data is owned by me; what should the permissions be so I don't get that error message above?
