How to Fix the pgAdmin 4 v3.0+ Port Number

Your specific problem might have already been resolved, but...

It is possible to configure a fixed port for pgAdmin 4:

  1. Click on the pgAdmin 4 tray-icon
  2. Click "Configure..."
  3. Check the box labeled "Fixed Port Number?"
  4. Enter the desired port number in the field next to it

Ran into this problem on Windows Server 2016 with pgAdmin4 v3.5 - resolved it by setting "IE Enhanced Security Configuration" to OFF - can then immediately access the management pages (note - 'run as Administrator' was not required).


Had the same issue in the following setup: Kubuntu 18, Firefox 64.0

What worked for me:

  1. Context menu > Copy server URL. That will give us an url of form:
    http://127.0.0.1:1234/?key=18ef03ff-d16a-43bc-af30-b20c66fbf452

  2. Navigate to that URL via browser (in my case Firefox worked well)


The following did not help:

  • Context menu > New pgAdmin 4 window...

  • Uninstall & install pgAdmin 4

  • Clear cookies for 127.0.0.1

  • Restart pgAdmin4

Hope this helps someone.
