[postgis-users] Error upgrading to PostGIS 2.4.3

Thu Mar 22 07:50:10 PDT 2018

Ross,

I'll check the zips and see if something is wrong.  I only test the
installers at release since that's what novice users use.

The installers are built using the postgis bundle zips and are meant for
more experienced users or people in a rush to upgrade. 

Thanks,

Regina

Hi Regina

Thanks for that info.  I downloaded the executable and ran that over a local
install of PostgreSQL 9.6.8 with PostGIS 2.4.2 that was giving me the same
error when trying to upgrade to 2.4.3 - it installed over the top and
everything is now working.  I'll wait for your new package and do our
production servers.

My local install is now at:

"POSTGIS="2.4.3 r16312" PGSQL="96" GEOS="3.6.2-CAPI-1.10.2 4d2925d"
PROJ="Rel. 4.9.3, 15 August 2016" GDAL="GDAL 2.2.3, released 2017/11/20"
LIBXML="2.7.8" LIBJSON="0.12" LIBPROTOBUF="1.2.1" TOPOLOGY RASTER"

I've always used the binaries from Winnie.  Our production servers are
behind a firewall and StackBuilder doesn't work.  What are the different use
cases for postgis-bundle*.zip, postgis-bundle-setup*.exe and
postgis-binaries*.zip?  

The bundles have everything in them - pgrouting, postgis, ogrfdw,
pointcloud, etc.  The binaries are just postgis.  Are they built at the same
time and then just routed into different output files?

Ross,

For reference My install gives:

PostgreSQL 9.6.8, compiled by Visual C++ build 1800, 64-bit

POSTGIS="2.4.3 r16312" PGSQL="96" GEOS="3.6.2-CAPI-1.10.2 4d2925d"
PROJ="Rel. 4.9.3, 15 August 2016" GDAL="GDAL 2.2.3, released 2017/11/20"
LIBXML="2.7.8" LIBJSON="0.12" LIBPROTOBUF="1.2.1" RASTER

Given that your GDAL is older (if you had installed 2.4.3 using the latest
installer, it should have overwritten your 2.3.5 gdal so it should be
showing 2.2.3).  Given it didn't that could be the problem.

I forget if the I had originally shipped 2.4.3 with GDAL 2.2.2 (so maybe
that is not the issue and you have the same cause you are using an earlier
installer)

Anyrate if you are not in a super rush to upgrade, you might want to wait
till I release: postgis-bundle-pg96x64-setup-2.4.3-3.exe
<https://winnie.postgis.net/download/windows/pg96/buildbot/postgis-bundle-pg
96x64-setup-2.4.3-3.exe> 

Which I'm hoping to get out this weekend or next.  The things that will be
upgraded in it are pgRouting and GDAL.

GDAL 2.2.4 came out a couple of days ago -
https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/Release/2.2.4-News  (with an ODBC fix that
one of my client's needs for the ogrfdw)

pgRouting 2.5.3 and pgRouting 2.6.0  also came out
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/pgrouting-users/2018-March/002384.html (of
which I am planning to include 2.6.0)

Yah the libxml2.dll and I assume you meant libxml2-2.dll.  PostGIS needs the
one called libxml2-2.dll and PostgreSQL EDB uses the one called libxml2.dll.
They can be even the same dll.  The libxml2-2.dll I have is dated 7/17/2017
(but like I said if you copied libxml2.dll to libxml2-2.dll that should work
fine.  

I upgraded my PostgreSQL 9.6 to EDB 9.6.8 and the 2.4.3 I had installed was
still working so libeasy is not the issue.  I too also have libeay32.dll
(1.0.2n, 12/12/2017)

You copied over the binaries?  You weren't using the installer?  For some
reason on my server, the Stackbuilder hung trying to download the installer
so I just got it from:

https://winnie.postgis.net/download/windows/pg96/buildbot/postgis-bundle-pg9
6x64-setup-2.4.3-2.exe

I still haven't got around to installing on a virgin 9.6.8.  To rule out
it's not just because I've got some other libraries I always use already
installed on my EDb instance.

Thanks,

Regina

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
