these are the package versions that are installed:


libpq-dev/pgadmin4 18.0-1.pgdg24.04+3 amd64

libpq5/pgadmin4,now 18.0-1.pgdg24.04+3 amd64 [installed,automatic]

pgadmin4-desktop/pgadmin4,now 9.9 amd64 [installed]

pgadmin4-server/pgadmin4,now 9.9 amd64 [installed,automatic]

pgadmin4-web/pgadmin4,now 9.9 all [installed,auto-removable]

pgadmin4/pgadmin4 9.9 all

phppgadmin/noble,noble 7.14.7+dfsg-1 all


this is the error that pops up.


The pgAdmin 4 server could not be contacted:
