pgAdmin not retaining server connections

Question

I'm using pgAdmin III 1.18.1 on Ubuntu 12.04. Whenever I reboot my machine, pgAdmin does not remember my server connections. If I enter the server connections and then close pgadmin3 and reopen, the server connections are retained, it is only when I reboot my machine that the connections are lost.

After I create my server connections and close pgAdmin I see that the .pgadmin3 file is created just fine:

benc@Ubuntu-T7400:~$ ls -al | grep .pgadmin3
-rw-rw-r--   1 benc benc  2088 Mar 28 11:57 .pgadmin3

Restarting pgadmin3 will then display my server connections. But if I reboot my machine, my .pgadmin3 file is set to 0 bytes.

After a reboot of Ubtuntu:

benc@Ubuntu-T7400:~$ ls -al | grep .pgadmin3
-rw-rw-r--   1 benc benc     0 Mar 28 12:10 .pgadmin3

Any idea what might be going on here?

Answer 1

I also gone through the same issue. But I have fixed this issue by following.

1. Actually .pgadmin3 file is missing from my home folder. So, I created it manually.

   vish@Ubuntu:~$ ls -al | grep .pgadmin3
   -rw-rw-r--  1 vish vish          0 Jul 31 13:01 .pgadmin3
   

2. By default user will not have access to execute that file. So I gave full access rights on this file.

    vish@Ubuntu:~$ sudo chmod a+wx .pgadmin3
   

   So now it will look like:

   -rwxrwxrwx  1 vish vish          0 Jul 31 13:01 .pgadmin3
   

Now every thing is working good.
