Troubleshooting¶

1. Connection Timeout Experied¶

The pgadmin can connect to server only when the server is running

Check whether your server is running

Windows

Using Task Manager:

• Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc).
• Go to the Services tab.
• Look for a service named postgresql-x.x (where x.x is your PostgreSQL version).
• The status should be "Running." If not, right-click and select Start.

2. Setting Windows PATH for Postgres tools¶

Error message: 'psql' is not recognized as an internal or external command

• Choose 'Edit the system environment variables'

• Go to the 'Advanced' tab and click on the 'Environment Variables' button at the bottom

• Find the 'Path' variables in the System variables box, double click the 'Path' variable

• Click on the 'New' button and add new path. If you install the PostgreSQL using default location, then your path shoud like in C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\bin\
