Hi,

Here are more error logs after I activate the debug mode and debug level log:

And for the Access Denied when Backup/Restore Database, I cannot find any entry on the PGAdmin4.log file.

Hi,

Recently I've successfully upgraded to PGAdmin v4.21 as Server Mode, but I had some problem when do Database Backup/Restore from PGAdmin.
When I try to browse the directory/folder to store my backup file, the PGAdmin4 give Access Denied message. I cannot view the directory content which I try to save the backup file.

Is there any config or setup file I missed to configure the directory permission on Windows?

Another problem is after I upgraded to v4.21, I cannot refresh my materialized view using the right click context menu with error
Failed to create materialized view refresh job. [WinError 2] The system cannot find the specified file

What can I do so I can refresh my materialized view except from running it manually in Query Editor?

FYI: I run the PGAdmin4 on Windows Server 2016 Standard (x64) and Apache/2.4.41 (Win64) mod_wsgi/4.7.1 Python/3.8

Have you changed any config settings related to PATH (DATA_DIR, SESSION_DB_PATH etc)?
On Windows, the DATA_DIR is set to %APPDATA%\pgAdmin by default.

Yes, I've already change the config_local.py file according to my server path. Below are my config_local.py file content:

SERVER_MODE = True

LOG_FILE = 'C:/WebApps/redacted/logs/pgadmin4.log'
SQLITE_PATH = 'C:/WebApps/
redacted/pgadmin4.db'
SESSION_DB_PATH = 'C:/WebApps/
redacted/sessions/'
STORAGE_DIR = 'C:/WebApps/
redacted/storage/'

MAIL_SERVER = '127.0.0.1'
MAIL_PORT = 25
MAIL_USE_SSL = False
MAIL_USE_TLS = False
MAIL_USERNAME = '
redacted'
MAIL_PASSWORD = '
redacted'
MAIL_DEBUG = False

BTW, on the link you gave above there is no mentioning about DATA_DIR variable on config file...?? Is there something I miss about the config?

For information, the LOG_FILE and SQLITE_PATH are working fine... I can see the log file and view the pgadmin4.db file and it's content.
The SESSION_DB_PATH and STORAGE_DIR are both I check exists and inside it some folder are created acording to the account and session logged in to PGAdmin4 Server Mode.

Please check the permission of the file/directory you have changed. It should be 0700.

Surya
