[postgis-users] Error upgrading to PostGIS 2.4.3

[McDonaldR]

Hi Regina

Thanks for the feedback.

This is my current working environment:

"POSTGIS="2.3.5 r16110" GEOS="3.6.2-CAPI-1.10.2 4d2925d" PROJ="Rel. 4.9.3, 15 August 2016" GDAL="GDAL 2.2.2, released 2017/09/15" LIBXML="2.7.8" LIBJSON="0.12" TOPOLOGY RASTER PostgreSQL 9.6.8, compiled by Visual C++ build 1800, 64-bit"

I stopped PostgreSQL, copied over the new PostGIS binary files, restarted PostgreSQL and tried to run the upgrade.

I have libeay32.dll (1.0.2n, 12/12/2017) installed in bin\ as well as libxml2.dll and linxml2-2.dll (should I have both files?)

Ross,

That error often means there is a dependency missing.

I think I did upgrade some binaries like GDAL and GEOS in last run, so if you were upgrading while PostGIS lib was in use, you might have gotten an error like

"Can't overwrite file"  during installation and since 2.4.3 would need the newer GDAL/GEOS/Proj might fail.  That would cause this problem.  Fix would be shut down postgresql, restart and rerun the 2.4.3 setup.

Could also be a packaging mistake on my part.

I'll test on my end on a clean 64-bit 9.6.8 to rule out issue on my end.  Last time I had a large number of people complaining about this, it was because EDB micro upgraded installed a libeasy32.dll that was incompatible with the curl I was shipping, so I had to recompile the curl to be compatible with whatever EDB upgraded their SSL libraries to.

Given your 2.3.5 still works?  I assume the ssl is not the issue.

Thanks.

Hi List

Maybe you can point me in the right direction.  I'm running PostgreSQL 9.6.8 (64bit) on Windows 2008 R2 with PostGIS 2.3.5 installed.  I have installed the 2.4.3 binaries and when I try to run ALTER EXTENSION postgis UPDATE TO "2.4.3"; I get the following error:

ERROR could not load library PostgreSQL/9.6/lib/postgis-2.4.dll The specified procedure could not be found.

The file is there.  I've checked permissions and all are valid.  I've stopped and started the postgresql service.  Am I missing something going from PostGIS 2.3.x to 2.4.x?  In the past upgrades have been totally painless.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Ross
