Hi, The patch seems to work in Runtime mode, but fails in Server mode with error:
(pgAdmin_27)Laptop195:pgadmin4 surinder$ python web/pgAdmin4.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "web/pgAdmin4.py", line 55, in <module> exec(open(file_quote(setupfile), 'r').read()) File "<string>", line 35, in <module> File "/Users/surinder/Documents/Projects/pgadmin4/web/pgadmin/setup/data_directory.py", line 23, in create_app_data_directory _create_directory_if_not_exists(os.path.dirname(config.SQLITE_PATH)) File "/Users/surinder/Documents/Projects/pgadmin4/web/pgadmin/setup/data_directory.py", line 15, in _create_directory_if_not_exists os.mkdir(_path) OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/pgadmin' (pgAdmin_27)Laptop195:pgadmin4 surinder$ This is because the directory /var/lib/ has root only access and I am running pgAdmin4 with the non-root user. Also pgadmin directory is not created. (pgAdmin_35)Laptop195:pgadmin4 surinder$ ls /var/lib/pgadmin ls: /var/lib/pgadmin: No such file or directory I got same error with MacOSX and Ubuntu-14.04 machines irrespective of Python version. Meanwhile, I am testing patch with other test cases.
