Hi guys, i'm currently in the process of upgrading my 8.4SS version to a 9.1 version of postgresql. I am running it on a Windows 2003 Server machine. The tool that I'm using is 'pg_upgrade'. Both servers are stopped. I have editet the pgpass.conf to include a line like this: '*:*:*:postgres:postgres' I have put a line like this into the pg_hba.conf : local all all trust The -? option on pg_upgrade doesn't show any parameter that I can set for a password, I started the command line as User:postgres and the ouput I get is this. D:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.1\bin>pg_upgrade -d "D:/Program Files/PostgresPlus /8.4SS/data" -D "D:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.1/data" -b "D:/Program Files/Post gresPlus/8.4SS/bin" -B "D:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.1/bin" -p 5432 -P 5433 -v Running in verbose mode Performing Consistency Checks ----------------------------- Checking current, bin, and data directories ok Checking cluster versions ok ""D:/Program Files/PostgresPlus/8.4SS/bin/pg_ctl" -w -l "nul" -D "D:/Program Fil es/PostgresPlus/8.4SS/data" -o "-p 5432 -c autovacuum=off -c autovacuum_freeze_m ax_age=2000000000" start >> "nul" 2>&1" connection to database failed: fe_sendauth: no password supplied unable to connect to old postmaster started with the command: ""D:/Program Files /PostgresPlus/8.4SS/bin/pg_ctl" -w -l "nul" -D "D:/Program Files/PostgresPlus/8. 4SS/data" -o "-p 5432 -c autovacuum=off -c autovacuum_freeze_max_age=2000000000" start >> "nul" 2>&1" Failure, exiting There's a window open with the data_dir of both servers and i never see a postmaster.pid, so i can be sure that none of the 2 servers are started by the pg_upgrade. Where could i provide it with a password ?? And if the password is not the problem, what could i have possibly done wrong ?? Thanks a lot. -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Upgrade-Postgres-8-4SS-9-1-tp5151661p5151661.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - general mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
