pgAdmin 4 v1.6 setting PostgreSQL Binary Path to a remote server to clear-up “The system cannot find the path specified.” error

Question

Just wondering how to go about assigning binary path to a remote server. I have pgAdmin on my personal computer, but the server (CentOS) that PostgreSQL resides on is at a different location.

Answer 1

You are getting this error because when using EXPLAIN or pg_dump from pgAdmin, the program uses the utilities in its install directory $DIR/../runtime or C:\Program Files (x86)\pgAdmin 4\v1\runtime to execute these commands. You can put this location in the Postgresql binary path and continue with the operation.
