This doc sentence about pg_upgrade is now inaccurate: If doing <option>--check</> with a running old server of a pre-9.1 version, and the old server is using a Unix-domain socket directory that is different from the default built into the new <productname>PostgreSQL</> installation, set <envar>PGHOST</> to point to the socket location of the old server. (This is not relevant on Windows.) The new detail is that this also affects non-live check and non-check upgrades because pg_ctl -w doesn't work for pre-9.1 servers with the socket in the current directory --- that was not known when this documentation paragraph was written. Applied doc patch attached. The wording became pretty complex so I tried to simplify it. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + It's impossible for everything to be true. +
