Hi Dave,
I'm just migrating to the fixes in 4.4. Can I just double check one
thing? In my original hack, I needed to create a link "wsgi.py" ->
"pgAdmin4.py", so the the corresponding gunicorn command is something
like this:
gunicorn ... --bind unix:/.../pgadmin.sock wsgi:application
Now, in the documentation updates as part of this fix, the last
argument to that line reads "pgAdmin4:app" and not "wsgi:application".
The reason I though I needed to use the wsgi.py file is that it
contains these lines amongst other:
# Ensure the global server mode is set.
builtins.SERVER_MODE = True
I'm not sure if, by following the updated docs, I am missing a
necessary setting?
Thanks, Shaheed
