Re: pg_upgrade could not connect to server

so when I try to run pg_ctl start I get this now:

c:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.3\bin>pg_ctl --pgdata=E:\PGSQLData start
server starting

c:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.3\bin>2015-01-22 17:25:22 PST PANIC:  could not open control file "global/pg_control": Permission denied

so looks like that is the source of the problem.

any ideas?

I'm also not sure why this mailing list doesn't use the mailing list's address for Reply-To.  weird...

same result :(

C:\Windows\system32>"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.3\bin/pg_ctl" -w -l "c:\pg_upgrade_ctl.log" -D "E:\PGSQLData" -o "-p 50432 -b " start
waiting for server to start....Access is denied.
.... stopped waiting
pg_ctl: could not start server
Examine the log output.

can't find any log output either.  I expected it to be at c:\pg_upgrade_ctl.log given the command above.
