Hi Dave thanks for reply In what scenario are the web components used in desktop mode. Sorry if I I keep banging on about it

Yes, it would break the default installation mode (desktop). The web package is "the web components of pgadmin", not "pgadmin to run in web mode". Also since the setup script does different things depending on this value if you don't do it first you have to delete the config and sqllite database and start again otherwise it will never work Currently I have this in my setup script #Overide SERVER_MODE (must be done BEFORE setup) cat >> /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pgadmin4-web/config_local.py << "EOF" SERVER_MODE = True EOF I tend to just edit that setting in config_local.py as I need it, but then also include: # Use a different config DB for each server mode. if SERVER_MODE == False: SQLITE_PATH = os.path.join( DATA_DIR, 'pgadmin4-desktop.db' ) else: SQLITE_PATH = os.path.join( DATA_DIR, 'pgadmin4-server.db' ) Anyway, to the main point - I've been trying to figure out a half-decent way of being able to support both server and desktop modes out of the box; and have yet to come up with anything that wouldn't be a tangled mess of config files. I still have some ideas though, and hope to explore them some more tomorrow. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
