Hi, Many thanks for the reply.
Sorry - should have added details about the Mac. I don't think it should be hardware issue as its a new-ish (year old) Mac Book Pro 2.5Ghz Intel I7 16 Gb. However, again, i should have included in first post - i did actually wonder if was a resource issue as i do often run a fair few things concurrently. So had also tried shutting everything down and then trying again with nothing else running - same result. Also as an aside, I have also got VMWare Fusion so i did also spin up a Win 7 VM and downloaded the Windows pgAdmin4 version ...that starts fine in VM. But obviously I would much prefer to use Mac! Given all that I have still just tried SQLITE_TIMEOUT = 1000 addition. Afraid the result is still exactly the same - but obviously a slower occurrence and repetition of the "database is locked" result. I was wondering if the error / lock could be due to an earlier issue or error or problem with my environment. I just read the instructions here about desktop deployment: https://www.pgadmin.org/docs4/dev/desktop_deployment.html#configuration Although have obviously downloaded the .app i did just check these. The config_local.py file is fine. There is no pgadmin4.db Not sure if its a red herring or if i should have done so , but i just tried : > pwd /Applications/pgAdmin 4.app/Contents/Resources/web > python setup.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 20, in <module> from flask import Flask ImportError: No module named flask However, i can see flask and all the other dependecies are in the app in the directory: /Applications/pgAdmin 4.app/Contents/Resources/venv/lib/python/site-packages So not sure whether that is pointing to an issue with my setup or something I'm doing incorrectly or thats just not a suitable thing to try. I've tried removing the app and then re-installing to the Applications folder. But same problem. Any further thoughts? Really appreciate the time and help. Many thanks. -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.nabble.com/pgAdmin4-10-beta2-for-Mac-error-freeze-on-start-tp5909658p5909703.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - pgadmin support mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgadmin-support mailing list (pgadmin-support@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgadmin-support
