Additional Information

Points to pay additional attention:

• 10.8 will only upgrade 10.7 HF84
• There is a IATEMPDIR environment variable that can be used to redirect the location of the installer’s temporary files
• After 10.8 is installed, the SSL certificates for secure LDAP has to be reapplied
• The default hosts that Postgres 13.x will listen too is “localhost” this has to be updated within the postgresql.conf file to be “*”
• The installer and upgrade process requires the destination database to have no users or databases other than the default postgres database/admin accounts
• By default, the Postgresql default database has no admin password and has to be set after the pg_hba.conf is set to password/md5
