Re: Cannot launch pgAdmin4

I would like to inform you I have successfully fixed the issue.

Probably the problem was that the name of my user home directory contains
space and special characters. So, the exact path which pgAdmin uses for log
and reach the pgadmin4.db was the following:

c:\Users\Laczkóczki Ákos\AppData\Roaming\pgadmin4\

I think it wasn't able to reach the pgadmin4.db file because after trying
to launch pgadmin the size of the db file was 0.

I have modified the config.py file as the following:

if os.name == 'nt':
DATA_DIR =
os.path.realpath('c:/development/tools/PostgreSQL/pgadmin/data')
else:
DATA_DIR = os.path.realpath(os.path.expanduser('~/.pgadmin/'))

So, I changed the DATA_DIR to a custom place which path doesn't contain any
special thing and now I am able to launch pgAdmin and it seems it is
working fine.

Thanks for your help!

Best regards,
Akos
