Hi, I am planning to upgrade our current Postgres 9.4.9 to 9.6 version using pg_upgrade method to reduce Production downtime. I followed below steps so far, ·
Postgres 9.4.9 running on 5432 port. ·
Same server, installed Postgres 9.6, its running fine on 5433 port. ·
Stop both the Postgres services through pg_ctrlcluster method. ·
Running below command to upgrade server.
o
sudo -H -u postgres /usr/lib/postgresql/9.6/bin/pg_upgrade -b /usr/lib/postgresql/9.4/bin -B /usr/lib/postgresql/9.6/bin -d /var/lib/postgresql/9.4/main -D /var/lib/postgresql/9.6/main -o '-c config_file=/etc/postgresql/9.4/main/postgresql.conf'
-o '-c config_file=/etc/postgresql/9.6/main/postgresql.conf' ·
·
I am getting below error while executing above command: command: "/usr/lib/postgresql/9.4/bin/pg_ctl" -w -l "pg_upgrade_server.log" -D "/var/lib/postgresql/9.4/main" -o "-p 50432 -b -c config_file=/etc/postgresql/9.4/main/postgresql.conf -c config_file=/etc/postgresql/9.6/main/postgresql.conf

Is it possible to upgrade Postgres 9.4.9 to 9.6 with pg_upgrade option or I need to do it through pg_dump only? Any help would be appreciated.
