Re: Failed to execute pg_dump

My immediate thought is always permissions.

As whom a phpPgAdmin running? Probably the Apache user who may or may not have rights to see pg_dump.

Subject: Failed to execute pg_dump

Hi Everyone

I have a test server which is running Centos7, PHP 7.1.13, PostgreSQL 9.6.5 and phpPgAdmin 5.1

When I went to dump a database I received the following error:

Export error: Failed to execute pg_dump (given path in your conf/config.inc.php : /opt/rh/rh-postgresql96/root/usr/bin/pg_dump). Please, fix this path in your configuration and relog.

The path /opt/rh/rh-postgresql96/root/usr/bin/pg_dump is valid.

I have checked the /user/share/phpPgAdmin/conf/config.inc.php which appears to be the configuration file mentioned in the error message and I can’t see any obvious issues.

I searched this problem in the mailing list but could not find any recent results. I did find an older result which said to correct the path in the config file, but that looks right to me.

Any ideas?

Thanks
