Applicable to:
- Plesk Onyx 17.8 for Linux
Symptoms
-
Plesk Onyx 17.8 is installed:
# plesk version
Product version: Plesk Onyx 17.8.11 Update #54 -
phpPgAdmin is not available for installation in Tools & Settings > Updates and Upgrades.
- When browsing to Tools & Settings > Database Servers, there is no phpPgAdmin button to log into PostgreSQL instance.
Cause
phpPgAdmin is deprecated in Plesk 17.8: it is removed from existing installations during the upgrade to Plesk 17.8 and not available for installation via Plesk anymore.
This has been done due to security reasons: phpPgAdmin project has been inactive for the past 3 years, which lead to phpPgAdmin becoming an insecure and unstable application.
Resolution
Customers who need to edit their database using a web interface can install a stand-alone phpPgAdmin on their websites.
NOTE: Manually installed phpPgAdmin will not be supported by Plesk. Install it at your own risk.

About the elimination of pgadmin in plesk, we suggest to the plesk team to reconsider the inclusion of pgadmin again, since the latest version of this software (2018-09-06 - pgAdmin 4 v3.3 Released) has just been released, with adequate security. Please consider that to develop large projects, mysql is not an option and remote access to postgree with a remote pgadmin, is complicated (firewall rules, etc). Thanks.

I would like to draw your attention that phpPgAdmin and pgAdmin are different software.
The latest version of phpPgAdmin was released in 2013 thus it is not shipped with Plesk anymore.
As for pgAdmin inclusion in Plesk installation, I recommend you vote for this on Plesk UserVoice portal:
