Thread: PgAdmin 4.28 doesn't work

Hello.

I've updated PgAdmin from 4.27 to 4.28 (x64) and it doesn't work. After launching the server I see the following error (see screenshot in attachments). My browser is MS Edge (WebKit), but it doesn't work also in Chrome and Firefox.

Tell me, pls, how Can I fix this error?

Hi,

Are you guys looking into a fix for this issue that will not require Windows users to edit their registry keys? That won't fly with most of the beginners I run across.

This is not a pgAdmin issue. We cannot just patch and hack pgadmin code to overcome issues caused by other installers. pgAdmin works completely fine on all other OS's. Plus, not all windows users are facing this issue. The registry is corrupted, and users need to check it.

Thanks,

Anthony,

There is one hack though,

Add this to your config_distro.py file in the pgAdmin installed directory (https://www.pgadmin.org/docs/pgadmin4/4.28/config_py.html)

import mimetypes

mimetypes.add_type('text/javascript', '.js')

Yeah, I think that may be the best workaround for us. I'm hesitant to try to have the installer automatically "fix" the registry (which won't work of course, if whatever messed it up later does it again).
