pgAdmin server not showing up


Total n00b question here. I am using pgAdmin to attempt to administer a remote PostgreSQL server. I click the connect icon, fill out the form, click 'OK'. The form goes away and in the status bar it says:

Connecting to database... Done.

The problem is, nothing else changes. My server doesn't come up under 'Server Groups' in the object browser, I get no server properties or statistics, or anything else. Yes, the server is running, yes, pg_hba.conf has been modified to allow my access, and yes, the username/password are right.

I was getting errors from pgAdmin before. I fixed all of those things, now I get nothing.


Solution

  • Have you tried restarting the program and/or your computer?

    I had the same issue where I was trying to add a connection but nothing was showing up after trying a few times. I closed it and opened it up again and I had 4 of the same connections!
