Hi,

I tried downloading and for host I put "local" (without quotes) and it
gives this error:
Unable to connect to server: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed

So I cannot use pgadmin on Windows PC.

Please advise.

Thanks,
Bob

You want either "localhost" or 127.0.0.1 as the host.

Ray.

Hi,

Thanks but now it's giving me the following error:
Unable to connect to server: connection failed: connection to server at
"127.0.0.1", port 5432 failed: fe_sendauth: no password supplied

However, when I installed pgadmin4, it never asked me to set up a password,
so how can I proceed?

Please advise.

Hi there,

This is a password for PostgreSQL - or at least, the user under which 
you're connecting to the PostgreSQL server. When you're first adding the 
server to pgAdmin, there's an option to specify the password (assuming 
you're using password authentication, and not another mechanism - you 
specify that at initial-connection time too).

For a server that's already listed in the tree view in pgAdmin, you can 
have it forget whatever password you may already have entered and saved 
- right-click on the server in the tree-view, and if pgAdmin has saved a 
password then there'll be a option, "Clear saved password". Click this, 
and then you can re-enter the password on next connection.

HTH,

Ray.
