Troubleshooting pgAdmin Installation Errors on Ubuntu: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you are an aspiring database administrator or a developer working with PostgreSQL, you might have encountered issues while setting up pgAdmin on your Ubuntu machine. A common problem is facing unexpected errors, such as operational errors when running the pgAdmin4.py file. In this guide, we will dissect one such issue and provide a detailed solution that will help you get back on track.

The Problem: Unexpected Error When Running pgAdmin

This specific error occurs because of issues with the SQLite database used by pgAdmin.

Steps to Resolve the Error

Let’s walk through the steps to fix this problem and get your pgAdmin up and running.

1. Identify the Source of the Error

The issue arises from a corrupted or incorrectly structured SQLite database located at ~/.pgAdmin/pgAdmin4.db. In many cases, the installation of pgAdmin may leave behind remnants of previous installations that cause conflicts.

2. Remove the Existing Database Directory

To resolve the issue, you need to purge the current database settings. Here’s how to do it:

Open your terminal.

Run the following command to remove the pgAdmin configuration directory:
