pgAdmin v4: The application server could not be contacted.
I'm new to PostgresSQL and to this list! I have installed version 10 64-bit (on Windows 7) I also used stackbuilder to install the ODBC drivers. The SQL shell allows me to logon to the server as postgres but when starting pgAdmin I get: The application server could not be contacted. This a fatal error of course..... Any hint, tips or "Oh man you should have...." etc will be greatly appreciated.

Re: pgAdmin v4: The application server could not be contacted.
Hi lepluc,
Can you check the required pg_hba.conf entry is present for pgAdmin4.
Also if this is not the issue then, Can you please share the FATAL error which you are receiving?
Hope this helps.

Re: pgAdmin v4: The application server could not be contacted.
Hi and thanks for the answer.
Well there is a file pg_hba.conf in the istallation, but not in the pgAdmin 4 subdirectory. The fatal error is a message box with the caption "Fatal Error" and the message "The application server could not be contacted."
Regards

Re: pgAdmin v4: The application server could not be contacted.
Hi lepluc,
The issue which you are facing may be solved by below workarounds listed below.
1) Start pgAdmin 4 using administrator.
Steps:
1. Right click pgAdmin 4 icon
2. Select "Run As Administrator"
2) If running the pgadmin 4 by Administrator is not helpful in your case then try clearing out the "C:\Users\{YourUser}\AppData\Roaming\pgAdmin" folder. I believe it was attempting to use the sessions from the prior version and was failing.
Note: AppData\Roaming\pgAdmin is a hidden folder.
Hope this helps you.
