Unable to connect to server: PgAdmin 4 - django

I have installed pgadmin on a new windows laptop and when I try to create a new server, it says:
When I try to run my django app in pycharm it is giving me the same error
could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061)
Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
How to solve this ?

In case someone is running the pgadmin-4 in docker, and not able to connect to postgres container, like me.
The solution is to first find the ip at which the docker image is running.
Step-1, make sure the postgres container is running.
Step-2 write command- PS C:\docker> docker ps
Should result as below or similar,
Step3- in order to find the ip address running the postgres use part of container ID and analyze like below command
PS C:\docker> docker inspect fc834
Note: Here I have only used part of container id that is fc834..
This should result the following or similar,
Step4-
Use this ip address in the connection as below with your correct username and password

You may need to installing PostgreSQL Server first.
You can verify if the folder is created in the below folder,
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL

You can configurate your newly created server to run on localhost and port 5432.
First select the “Connection” tab in the “Create-Server” window. Then, configure the connection as follows:
Enter your server’s IP address in the “Hostname/ Address” field. Default is localhost.
Specify the “Port” as “5432”.
Enter the name of the database in the “Database Maintenance” field.
Enter your username as postgres and password (use the same password you used when previously configuring the server to accept remote connections) for the database.
Click “Save” to apply the configuration.
NOTE You first have to install PostgreSQL on your machine and run it or run it with docker.

I had the same issue. But in my case I had installed pgadmin in version 9. But also installed version 12 at the same time.
When I now uninstalled version 9, the port was already set in the config of version 12 and not given free.
So my solution was to change the port of version 12 in the postgresql.conf file. Or even simplier, change the port in the server creation from 5432 to 5433. Now you are able to create a server again.

You should uninstall Postgres and pgAdmin from your PC. Then install postgres, note that you have the option of installing pgAdmin together with Postgres, so you don't have to download pgAdmin separately. Allow the installation to complete then restart you PC. Hopefully you should be able to create your server/database

I was running postgress and pgadmin both using docker container.
sudo docker ps
sudo docker inspect <postgress_container_id>
Output:
"Networks": {
"work_file_default": {
"IPAMConfig": null,
"Links": null,
"Aliases": [
"postgres",
"578a7a1050d1"
],
"NetworkID": "49dbe9d7280b55e36afc4308469c1b55e051d7eea8f1c03f08728e652cf22b5b",
"EndpointID": "c30a642c5a0f2970147c9734cadfbe1e8d7c29fcba8a83a628b7c2b3db114716",
"Gateway": "172.18.0.1",
**"IPAddress": "172.18.0.4",**
"IPPrefixLen": 16,
"IPv6Gateway": "",
"GlobalIPv6Address": "",
"GlobalIPv6PrefixLen": 0,
"MacAddress": "02:42:ac:12:00:04",
"DriverOpts": null
}
Instead of localhost put the IP obtained from above command (172.18.0.4)

In my case was I got both pgadmin and postgresql services running in separate docker containers and I was trying to connect to localhost(127.0.0.1), which is cause of unable to connect to server error.
Note: 5438 port on my computer (host machine) was mapped to 5432 port of postgresql container.
so practically there are two solutions (if you have these services in separate containers and you have mapped postgresql port to your host machine ):
1-find out your local IP (mine is 192.168.1.106) and put it in the Host field.
2- you can put two containers(pgadmin and postgres) in one network (docker network)
and instead of your local IP, put postgres container IP in the Host field.
-Another tip that may help: what I've recently find out was if you are linux user and have ufw enabled, you should allow the port.
e.g. on my computer postgres is running on 5438 port, so I performed below command (so I could connect from pgadmin container to 5438 port of host wich postgres is running)
ufw allow 5438

Execute the container with the data Eg:
docker run --name postgresdb -e POSTGRES_USER=username -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password -e POSTGRES_DB=mydb -p 5432:5432 --restart always -d postgres
Then in the PGAdmin client in the Host Name/Address use:
host.docker.internal
Image Conn PGAdmin

I was trying to install PostgreSQL and pgAdmin with an installer that is given here https://www.postgresql.org/download/windows/. This installer includes the PostgreSQL server, pgAdmin;
I was facing an error while starting pgAdmin: "The pgAdmin 4 server could not be contacted". I tried different solutions but did not work.
Then I uninstalled both of them, deleted the temp folder C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\pgAdmin and delete those ones too %temp%.
Then I installed the pgAdmin separately from this link https://www.pgadmin.org/download/
and it works. If you need to connect it with your local server I think you should install the PostgreSQL server first and then pgAdmin separately.

I faced the same problem. So I uninstalled pgAdmin through control panel. after that deleted the folder where pgAdmin was located. Then I went to this link and installed pgadmin whole package from there and now it works fine.

I was getting this error when I was running pgadmin in a docker container on my machine, which meant that localhost:5432 was not accessible.
I worked around this by using the native version of pgadmin.

If you are running PostgreSQL in a docker container, set the host name in pgAdmin to postgres not the mapped address or localhost.

press win key+R then Search for services.msc A window will open in that find postgresql-x64-13 right click, in that tab click start option For me its works perfectly.

unable to connect to server for Postgres

how I solved this problem in ubuntu 22.04
I didn't have a password set in Postgres, that's why the error occurred 'unable to connect server 127.0.0.0 port 5432
Open the terminal in ubuntu and enter this command;
sudo -u postgres psql
Run the statement to add new password. ALTER USER Postgres PASSWORD 'AddNewPasswordHere'; in '' you should enter your new password
Example:
1)sudo -u postgres psql
2)ALTER USER postgres PASSWORD 'mynewpassword'
3)sudo service postgresql restart
4)Then you can create a server in pgadmin

If you already tried with “127.0.0.1” and it didn’t work then use “localhost”

After two years i think this would be of good help to so many people.
You don't have to uninstall postgresql or PGADMIN from your system.
What you need to do i input the username and password for a particular user created on postgresql into the server input box.
And that all you need.
i hope this helps anyone

Deploy Django Application on Cloud, but even cannot get access to ip_address:8000

I am a beginner on Django. And try to deploy a testproject on cloud server to check if it works or not.
Server: Ubuntu 16.04
And after I create virtualenv on the server with nginx installed.
I execute below:
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
And then I go to the browser to access my server's http://ip-address:8000.
But it failed to show anything of my application.
I already added the ip-address to ALLOWED_HOST. But still not working.
Are there any thoughts for this situation?
maybe this method work for you because it worked for mine on the ec2 instance on Amazon web server.
step1: go to your dashboard find launch-wizard menu and open it.
step2: Now click on inbound after that click on edit. Here click on Add rule and select Custom TCP rule & enter 8000 in port range. Now again click on Add rule and select HTTP and similarly do for HTTPS then click on save button.
step3: save and restart your AWS machine. Hopefully, your Django app runs on 8000 port.
For a Linux instance in the security group, follow these steps to verify the security group rule:
Connect to a Linux instance by using a password.
Run the following command to check whether TCP 80 is being listened. netstat -an | grep 80
If the following result returns, web service for TCP port 80 is enabled.
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
If not then there is a problem with your security group setup, please go through the official documentation and see how you can fix it:

SSH tunnelling to a remote server with django

I'm trying to set up an SSH tunnel to access my server (currently an ubuntu 16.04 VM on Azure) to set up safe access to my django applications running on it.
I was able to imitate the production environment with Apache WSGI and it works pretty good but since I'm trying to develop the application I don't want to make it available to broader public right now - but to make it visible only for a bunch of people.
To the point: when I set up the ssh tunnel using putty on Windows 10 (8000 to localhost:8000) and I run http://localhost:8000/ I get the folowing error:
"Not Found HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found.".
How can I make it work? I run the server using manage.py runserver 0:8000.
I found somewhere that the error may be due to the fact that the application does not have access to ssh files, but I don't know whether that's the point here (or how to change it).
Regards,
Dominik
After hours of trying I was able to solve the problem.
First of all, I made sure putty connects to the server and creates the desired tunnel. To do that I right-clicked on the putty window (title bar) and clicked event log. I checked the log and found the following error:
Local port 8000 forwarding to localhost:8000 failed: Network error:
Permission denied
I was able to solve it by choosing other local port (9000 instead of 8000 in my instance).
Second of all, I edited the sshd_config file: sudo vi etc/ssh/sshd_config
and added these three lines:
AllowAgentForwarding yes
AllowTcpForwarding yes
GatewayPorts yes
I saved the file and restarted the ssh service:
sudo service ssh stop
sudo service ssh start
Now when I visit localhost:9000 everything works just fine.

Digital ocean on Laravel Forge - Unable to load key (navicat)

Im pulling my hair out with this one. I've managed to get a site running on Digital Ocean through Forge and also SSH into the server so I know that the SSH keys are setup correctly.
But when trying to connect via Navicat, I keep getting the error "Unable to load key". Does anyone know what this is in reference to or what the problem is.
regards
There is an answer from 2015 on Navicat forum, indicating there could be issue with ssh key support.
If you can connect via ssh, do an ssh tunnel to your server manually:
ssh -v servername -L 3306:127.0.0.1:3306 -N
Afterwards, you connect to remote mysql as it was on your localhost (you should not have one running on 3306, otherwise map to another local port)

Installing and Viewing Neo4j on Existing AWS EC2 Instance

I'm trying to install the enterprise edition of neo4j on an existing EC2 (Amazon linux) instance. So far I've
wget "link to enterprise"
untar the file
renamed and moved the folder to NEO4J_HOME
then went into the config files for neo4j.properties to make the following changes:
# Enable shell server so that remote clients can connect via Neo4j shell.
remote_shell_enabled=true
# The network interface IP the shell will listen on (use 0.0.0 for all interfaces)
remote_shell_host=127.0.0.1
# The port the shell will listen on, default is 1337
remote_shell_port=1337
EDITED Christophe Willemsen pointed out that for my original error, I had forgotten to restart the server at that point but I was still unable to access the web server while it was running. So to make it more clear, I've edited the remaining post:
I went to neo4j-server.properties and uncommented:
org.neo4j.server.webserver.address=0.0.0.0
And start the server
NEO4J_HOME/bin/neo4j start
WARNING: Max 1024 open files allowed, minimum of 40 000 recommended. See the Neo4j manual.
Using additional JVM arguments: -server -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -Dorg.neo4j.server.properties=conf/neo4j-server.properties -Djava.util.logging.config.file=conf/logging.properties -Dlog4j.configuration=file:conf/log4j.properties -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX:-OmitStackTraceInFastThrow
Starting Neo4j Server...WARNING: not changing user

checking the status:

Neo4j Server is running at pid 28557
I can run the shell but the when I go to localhost 7474 I still can not connect
Any help would be appreciative. The only tutorial or help I've found assumed I was starting from scratch with a new instance. If someone could provide some instructions for installing or fix my configuration that would be great.
Thanks!
You have to edit neo4j-server.properties and uncomment the line with:
org.neo4j.server.webserver.address=0.0.0.0
So that the db listens on an external interface not just localhost, and you have to open the port (7474) in your firewall rules.
Make sure to secure access to the db though:

Local Django website won't load in browser

I'm guessing there's a very simple solution to this, but I searched every forum and setup guide and can't figure it out:
I built a Django/CentOS-6.3 environment on my local server (using VirtualBox and Vagrant). When I startup my server in the vagrant terminal with 'python manage.py runserver [::]:8000' it starts up with no errors.

Django version 1.5.1, using settings 'mysitename.settings'
Development server is running at http://[::]:8000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.
However, when I try to navigate to 'http://127.0.0.1:8001' in my browser (I set up port forwarding from port 8000 to port 8001 in my Vagrantfile), the browser just hangs for 5 minutes until it times out, then it returns the message:
> The connection was reset
> The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
> ...
This is the exact same message I get from the browser even after I shut down my local server. My computer obviously recognizes this as a forwarded port, because any other port I try (such as 8000) instantly returns an error saying that it can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:8000.
With regard to the server files, I have done many similar setups with Django/Ubuntu in the past and have never had any issues, but there must be something different about Django/CentOS that is causing this to happen (or maybe I made a mistake someone in one of my server files). I have followed guides for setting up Django & PostgreSQL on CentOS, too, but to no avail. I'll comment some of the files I have created/edited below.
If anyone has a solution, or even has advice on where to start looking for errors, I would very much appreciate it.
If your network is configured correctly and your django application with
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
and you still can't access your django app from the VM host there is almost certainly a firewall issue. The solution above is good if you are running iptables.
I deployed CentOS 7 on a virtualbox VM from a Windows 7 host. I didn't know that this distribution uses firewalld, not iptables to control access.
if
ps -ae | grep firewall
returns something like
602 ? 00:00:00 firewalld
your system is running firewalld, not iptables. They do not run together.
To correct you VM so you can access your django site from the host use the commands:
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=8000/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload
Many thanks to pablo v for pointing this out in the post "Access django server on virtual Machine".
the host's "127.0.0.1" is not the same as the guest's "127.0.0.1". Per default the command
python manage.py runserver
listens only to the guest's localhost. You should be able to test it from within the vm (use "vagrant ssh" to login) and run
curl -I http://127.0.0.1:8000/
The host as a different IP. To access the development server from the host you have to start it without ip restriction:
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
Yes:
python manage.py runserver [::]:8000
should be the same. But that's IPv6 syntax AFAIK. Are you sure that the "manage.py runserver" command supports IPv6 by default? I've never used ipv6 addresses w/ django, but looking at the source (https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/core/management/commands/runserver.py) there seams to be a flag that the default to False ("--ipv6"). Perhaps that's the "real" problem?
Regards,
For a similar problem,
This command worked like a charm for me
python manage.py runserver [::]:8001
Check your iptables, and stop it. Ubuntu commonly does not open the iptables when it starts.
