pg_upgrade only to 9.0 ?

Hi,

I'm currently running 8.4.4. I downloaded the source for 9.0.4 and installed it, and then installed pg_upgrade and ran it, and got the following message:

This utility can only upgrade to PostgreSQL version 9.0.

It seems strange to me that it can only upgrade to that and not 4 patch points above, but still, so I go to the source directory to download 9.0 and it isn't listed.

Could anyone tell me how I'm supposed to get this to work please? I'd be really grateful.

How did you run it? i.e. what exactly did you type in to run it?

Sorry, ignore me, I wasn't following the instructions given here properly.
http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/pgupgrade.html

Feel free to give me a slap via email for skimming documents and asking stupid questions! Thanks for making the effort though.

Regards,
Iain

Very late reply, but can I see the command you are running? Odds are
you are pointing to 8.4 as the new database instead of 9.0.4.

You have to use the pg_upgrade version that matches the new server
version. I am confused by your report if you are upgrading to 9.0 or
9.2.
