I'm pretty new to PostgreSQL so the question may be simple. So. I have installed PostgreSQL 11 and pgAdmin 4 on Fedora 29. I can connect to the database via terminal or AzureDataStudio, but when I try to connect with pgAdmin, I get this error:
Unable to connect to server:
could not connect to server: Permission denied Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
I'm trying anything that can be found for 3 last days, but nothing helped me. Here are my configurations:
# I set listen_address in postgresql.conf:
listen_addresses = '*'
# and these are my pg_hba.conf hosts:
local all all md5
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5
host all all ::1/128 md5
host all all ::/0 md5
local replication all peer
host replication all 127.0.0.1/32 ident
host replication all ::1/128 ident
Is there any problem with these configurations? Or is there any tip should I know to connect through pgAdmin? Thanks in advance.
UPDATE:
I should mention that I can connect to the database through the terminal:
psql -h 127.0.0.1 -U postgres
Connecting through AzureDataStudio doesn't need any specified data. There is a form just like this:
And filling the form and submitting the Connect button will connect to the database. Also, I can connect to the database via JetBrains' DataGrip with same form and data.
UPDATE 2:
I'm running both PostgreSQL and pgAdmin on my local machine which is running Fedora 30.
UPDATE 3:
Here are my full software's info:
// OS
Fedora 30 64-bit
// PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL 11.3 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 9.0.1 20190312 (Red Hat 9.0.1-0.10), 64-bit

UPDATE 3:
Running sudo netstat -nlp | grep 5432
command gives this result;

UPDATE 4: The Solution!
Finally, with the help of Jan Garaj's answer, I found the solution. First of all, I installed the SELinux Troubleshooter app:
sudo dnf install setroubleshoot
Then I started the Troubleshooter. Next, I tried to connect to the database through pgAdmin4. The Troubleshooter gave me 2 errors with suggested solutions which were running these commands:
sudo setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1
sudo setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect_db 1
Check SELinux audit logs - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SELinux_FAQ#How_do_I_find_out_whether_SELinux_is_denying_access_for_any_software.3F
I see denials on my test CentOS 7 system:

I guess, you will have similar problem in your Fedora - you will need to tweak used SELinux policy.
