If none of the methods help try checking your system and user environments PATH and PYTHONPATH variables.

I was getting this error due to my PATH variable was pointing to different Python installation (which comes from ArcGIS Desktop).

After removing path to my Python installation from PATH variable and completely removing PYTHONPATH variable, I got it working!

Keep in mind that python command will not be available from command line if you remove it from PATH.

This is often a firewall problem  The firewall log then shows dropped packets between 127 0 0 1  and 127 0 0 1   where the latter is the port shown in the Browser to get no connection with  This means  that the connection between pgAdmin client  high port 1  and pgAdmin server  high port 2  is blocked  Check your firewall log and if you find dropped packets like described  adapt your firewall settings accordingly

I need to add this here because I ve had several issues with this message  If you have recently upgraded to High Sierra you will find the latest  pgadmin 4 20  will keep appearing with the message  Application Server Could Not be Contacted   What this actually means on Macs is that python was unable to configure your environment in    pgadmin  This directory stores all the things you setup and configure and even logs of what was ran on your user copy usage of pgadmin   The way to fix this issue on High Sierra is down to sqlite3  If you look in that directory you ll see everything is stored in sqlite3 files   When version 4 20 of pgadmin was released it was shipped with a version later than sqlite3 19 and the problem arises because High Sierra is shipped with sqlite3 19  so to fix this issue  you need to replace the old version of sqlite3 with the latest on your packager   Now be aware  MacosX  all use sqlite to store details for the majority of apps on your mac  so you ll need to make sure you do not just wipe the old version but you ll have to have both versions co-existing together in harmony to avoid anything major occurring on your mac   1  download brew https   brew sh   2  update brew and upgrade brew to make sure it s up-to-date  3  brew install sqlite3  4  mv  usr bin sqlite3  usr bin sqlite3 os  5  ln -s  usr local Cellar sqlite 3 21 0 bin sqlite3  usr bin sqlite3  6   usr bin sqlite3 -version  check version is later than 3 19   You can now proceed to open up pgadmin as normal

Happens mostly when you have multiple versions of pgadmin installed or while trying to upgrade  Even I tried everything from killing the  running PID on port 5432  to  changing the server mode   In my case I uninstall postgres and re-install it again on different port 5433    Later  I opened it through cmd right click on cmd and select  run cmd as an Administrator

Have you recently installed a new version of pgAdmin    This issue  and the misleading message  is simply due to the fact that old versions of pgAdmin are unable to read the settings saved by a newer version of pgAdmin    Make sure you re starting the right version of pgAdmin  your shortcuts are likely to point to the old version    and or uninstall the old version  the upgrade wizard doesn t do it for you
