I followed all instructions step by step: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-configure-pgadmin4-server-mode-ru
And after all, I have an error “You don’t have permission to access this resource.”.
I can successfully create any host and all works fine but I can’t understand why I don’t have permissions for pgAdmin4. There may be something missing in the instructions… Please help me with this issue.

Hi @aikor,
Can you check in your Apache Error Log, it should state the reason behind the 403 error code?
You should be able to find where your error_log is located from the vhost configuration of pgadmin4 sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/pgadmin4.conf
Hi @aikor,
I went over the tutorial and can I ask you what ownership did you use, was it www-data or something else? These ownerships are used for your files and directories you need to create:
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/pgadmin4/sessions
sudo mkdir /var/lib/pgadmin4/storage
sudo mkdir /var/log/pgadmin4
sudo chown -R sammy:sammy /var/lib/pgadmin4
sudo chown -R sammy:sammy /var/log/pgadmin4
