Alvaro,

I applied the patch and tried upgrading again, and everything seemed to
work as expected. We are now up and running the beta!

[BUGS] 9.3beta2: Failure to pg_upgrade

2013-07-30 Thread Jesse Denardo
Name: Jesse Denardo
Release: 9.2.2 -> 9.3beta2
Test Type: Install/Upgrade Test
Test Detail: pg_upgrade in a fresh install of 9.3beta2
Platform: Debian Linux 6.0.5
Installation Method: From source
Platform Detail: Debian Linux 6.0.5, 2.6.32.45-grsec-2.2.2-r3, x86_64
Test Procedure:

I made a byte for byte copy of our exsting 9.2.2 Postgres directory (which
includes the data directory), changed the port, and started it up. I
pointed our dev application at the new port, and everything worked as
expected. I then followed the procedure outlined here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/pgupgrade.html

I installed 9.3beta2 into a new directory from source, installed Postgis
2.1 and our required contrib modules, ran initdb, and ran pg_upgrade
pointing at the right spots. The exact commands I used were:

$ whoami
postgres

$ pwd
/home/postgres

$ 9.3beta2/bin/initdb 9.3beta2/data
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locales
  COLLATE:  C
  CTYPE:en_US.UTF-8
  MESSAGES: en_US.UTF-8
  MONETARY: en_US.UTF-8
  NUMERIC:  en_US.UTF-8
  TIME: en_US.UTF-8
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to "UTF8".
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

Data page checksums are disabled.

WARNING: enabling "trust" authentication for local connections
You can change this by editing pg_hba.conf or using the option -A, or
--auth-local and --auth-host, the next time you run initdb.

Success. You can now start the database server using:

9.3beta2/bin/postgres -D 9.3beta2/data
or
9.3beta2/bin/pg_ctl -D 9.3beta2/data -l logfile start

(At this point, starting the new database succeeds.)

$ 9.3beta2/bin/pg_upgrade --old-bindir=/home/postgres/9.2_dev/bin
--new-bindir=/home/postgres/9.3beta2/bin
--old-datadir=/home/postgres/9.2_dev/data
--new-datadir=/home/postgres/9.3beta2/data -u postgres

If pg_upgrade fails after this point, you must re-initdb the
new cluster before continuing.

Consult the last few lines of "pg_upgrade_server.log" for
the probable cause of the failure.
