I am running Windows Server 2012 R2 x64 and upgrading from 9.4.5 to 9.5. I was unable to get pg_upgrade to work so my upgrade path is:
1) Backup with pg_dumpall
2) Uninstall 9.4
3) Install 9.5
4) Restore data
This worked sucessfully on one server. I am now having issues following the same procedure on a second server, in that the /data directory is not being created and I get the following error messages near the end of the install procedure:
Failed to load SQL modules into the database cluster.
Problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete properly.
Error reading file C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.5/data/postgresql.conf
postgresql.conf doesn't exist since the /data subdirectory does not exist. I have tried deleting and re-creating the postgres user account, with no luck.
Please can some help with what is preventing the data directory being created.
