hi all, I'm trying to follow the pg_upgrade docs from http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/pgupgrade.html I'm on Windows 64bit, and experience a few issues: 1) I do not have a "postgres" user account. the services are run by the Network Service account. 2) minor: the service names include "-x64" suffix which is really unnecessary and makes the docs stray from the implementation. 3) the main problem, possibly related to issue 1 above, is the following error message: Performing Consistency Checks ----------------------------- Checking cluster versions ok *failure* Consult the last few lines of "pg_upgrade_server_start.log" or "pg_upgrade_server.log" for the probable cause of the failure. connection to database failed: could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 50432? could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 50432? could not connect to old postmaster started with the command: "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.3\bin/pg_ctl" -w -l "pg_upgrade_server.log" -D "E:\PGSQLData" -o "-p 50432 -b " start any help would be appreciated. thanks! -- Igal Sapir Railo Core Developer http://getRailo.org/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
