I saw a similar question for Linux at23216734
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23216734/cannot-write-to-log-file-pg-upgrade-internal-log-when-upgrading-from-postgresq>which
explains that the issue is with permissions, but it doesn't help with
Windows as I do not have a user named|postgres|
Same goes for thepg_upgrade docs
<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/pgupgrade.html>, which
mention a|postgres|user:
RUNAS /USER:postgres "CMD.EXE"
But again, I do not have such a user, and am trying to run this
command as Administrator so I don't understand why I would have no
permission. I even tried to do
|RUNAS /USER:Administrator "CMD.EXE"|
And run pg_upgrade in the new command prompt, but am getting the same
error.
Also, I am not sure which directory needs permissions? Where is the
process trying to write|pg_upgrade_internal.log|to?
any ideas? TIA!
how was your postgresql installed ? is the existing version of
postgres running as a system service or what? what versions are you
upgrading from and to ?
note, btw, just being Administrator does NOT automatically override file
permissions... an administrator is allowed to change file ownership.
