Have you looked at the logs from pg_upgrade? Does "pg_ctl -w start" work? My guess is that the -w (wait) is failing for some reason. We did improve the -w handling in PG 9.1 so I didn't think there were any failure cases, but you might have found a new one. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + It's impossible for everything to be true. + -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
