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...
