1. After installation of PostgreSQL, you need to copy libpq.dll from wamp\bin\php\phpX.X.X to wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2*\bin . And restart the Wampserver.
2. Download phpPgAdmin here.
3. Extract phpPgAdmin-5.1.zip in C:\wamp\apps So the path will be, C:\wamp\apps\phpPgAdmin-5.1.

4. Create a file called phppgadmin.conf in C:\wamp\alias. And copy paste the following :

   Alias /phppgadmin "C:/wamp/apps/phpPgAdmin-5.1/" 
   
   
       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
       AllowOverride all
           Order Deny,Allow
     Allow from all
   
   

5. Left Click on the Wampserver Tray icon. Navigate to PHP > PHP extension. Then enable this

   a. php_pgsql 
   b. php_pdo_pgsql extension.
   

6. Open C:\wamp\apps\phpPgAdmin-5.1\conf\config.inc.php,

   a. find $conf['servers'][0]['host'] = ''; change to $conf['servers'][0]['host'] = 'localhost';
   b. find $conf['extra_login_security'] = true; change true to false

7. Restart All service

8. Go to http://localhost/phppgadmin/ and try to login.

9. Default Login credentials are

   • Username = "postgres"
   • Password = "root"
