~$ cd /usr/pgadmin4/bin /usr/pgadmin4/bin$ ./pgadmin4 ./pgadmin4: error while loading shared libraries: libasound.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I checked the pgadmin logs and it is empty. I just installed pgadmin4 today.

[adityatoshniwal]

Try this sudo apt-get install libasound2 and start pgAdmin.

Hmm, after installing libasound2 successfully, I've run into this error. I'm confused as to why it is trying to display when I want to access the Web GUI. I'm running pgadmin4 on a separate machine and trying to access the web gui from my laptop

./pgadmin4 --server [2136:2136:0509/055318.816016:ERROR:ozone_platform_x11.cc(239)] Missing X server or $DISPLAY [2136:2136:0509/055318.816386:ERROR:env.cc(255)] The platform failed to initialize. Exiting.

If you are unable to access pgadmin using web url http://127.0.0.1/pgadmin4, below are the steps to find the root cause

1. Try to access url in browser. if it fails
2. share the logs at below location. /var/log/apache2/error.log These are apache2 logs. It might track error message when http request hits.

Probably when some library or .so file is missing, an error gets recorded at this log file (/var/log/apache2/error.log) showing the cause of error

You don't need to run ./pgadmin4 server separately, it is already running behind Apache. Just try to access the url from browser directly.
