I am trying to upgrade my PostgreSQL instance from 9.0.22 to 9.4.4.

 

However, I am getting the following error when executing pg_upgrade.

 

“When checking a pre-PG 9.1 live old server, you must specify the old server's port number.

Failure, exiting”

 

I am executing the following command.  I have tried substituting -o '–p 50432' instead of -o '–p 5438'

I get the same result.

 

It appears as though I am not successfully passing the old instance port assignment into the pg_upgrade script.

 

Anyone seen this one before?

 

/app/PostgreSQL/9.4/bin/pg_upgrade -b /app/PostgreSQL/9.0/bin -B /app/PostgreSQL/9.4/bin -d /pgsql/stip/data9 -D /pgsql/stip/data94 -o '–p 5438' –U furlongs_a -c -v

 

Thank you,
