Bug 242826

Description of problem:

I start pgadmin and 'add server', put in the connection details and click on OK.
The dialog box immediately disappears.

When I start pgadmin again, it has the database icon with a big red X. The
properties indicate that pgadmin is not connected to the database. (see attached
image)

  When I look in the postgres log file, the newest line sa:d:
  LOG:  unexpected EOF on client connection

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

  pgadmin3 - 1.6.3-1.fc7.i386

  postgresql - 8.2.4-1.fc7.i386

How reproducible:

  pgadmin was working a month ago (with postgresql 8.1.9)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. see above
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

  pgadmin disappears

Expected results:

  pgadmin should connect to my database

Additional info:

 There may be format changes in the 8.2.4 version of postgresql that pgadmin3
hasn't caught up with as yet.

  There was a complaint when I tried to start postgresql when I finally was able
to boot into Fedora7. Something about a database format change between the
version of postgresql installed in Fedora6 and that loaded in Fedora7.

This is another bug as the Fedora7 upgrade process overwrites the old version of
postgresql and then issues an error message saying that it cannot open the old
format database - please pg_dumpall and reload with the new system.
Unfortunately, for pg_dumpall to work, postgresql must be running on the database.

I had to move the data, uninstall postgres 8.2.4, install postgresql 8.1.9,
pg_dumpall, uninstall 8.1.9, reinstall 8.2.4 and then import the dumpall file.
