[postgis-users] Problem moving database

The issue is that you are trying to install an old version of postgis into the new database.
My normal approach (yet to fail - for me at least):
create the new database
install the appropriate/current version of Postgis in that db (this may require plpgsql as well as running postgis.sql & spatial_ref_sys.sql)
dump the old db without the "create new db option" & copy the dump file to the new system
run psql -d <newdb> -f <old db dump file>
(optionally create any users you want in the new db to be compatible with the old db)
you will still get errors as it fails to install the old postgis on top of the one that is already there, but that is fine - you don't want or need the old postgis.
That should give you a working new db.
