Re: Unable to upgrade old cluster from 8.4 to 9.0

Hello,

I have Debian Linux (unstable) server, and I am trying to upgrade 8.4 version
database to 9.0, all developer packages for both versions were installed, as
well as client ( postgresql-server-dev-8.4
postgresql-client-8.4 postgresql-server-dev-9.0 postgresql-client-9.0).

Here is the command I use

/usr/lib/postgresql/9.0/bin/pg_upgrade -d -c /var/lib/postgresql/8.4/main/ -D
/var/lib/postgresql/9.0/main/ -b /usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/bin/ -B
/usr/lib/postgresql/9.0/bin/ --user=postgres

output is as follows:

Performing Consistency Checks
-----------------------------
Checking old data directory (-c)
check for base failed:  No such file or directory


I stopped server as it was suggested in upgrade manual
(http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/pgupgrade.html)
All data directories are exist:

new one?
