Are you sure that the version of pg_upgrade you are using is from 9.3 and not 9.2? You should always use pg_upgrade from the new server version. By looking at contrib/pg_upgrade/server.c in 9.3 code, the code takes into account unix_socket_directories that has been renamed in 9.3: /* Have a sockdir? Tell the postmaster. */ if (cluster->sockdir) snprintf(socket_string + strlen(socket_string), sizeof(socket_string) - strlen(socket_string), " -c %s='%s'", (GET_MAJOR_VERSION(cluster->major_version) < 903) ? "unix_socket_directory" : "unix_socket_directories", cluster->sockdir); So no problem on this side.
