Metasploit starting issue

[HDD2]

Dont really know if this problem really hurts Metasploit's performance but i figured i would check. I added a custom exploit to /usr/share/metasploit-framework/modules/exploits/linux/telnet right? afterwards i entered msfconsole and got this error


root@myusername:~# msfconsole
[-] Failed to connect to the database: could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?


THEN metasploit loads, everytime. I can use metasploit after it pitches a fit for a few lines. I removed the exploit from the directory stated above and i still have the error. However this problem does 'seem' as though it could cause some headaches in the future. Any idea why its showing?

Are you forgetting to run
service postgresql start
service metasploit start
in console in console before running
msfconsole

hrmm, it never threw those errors beforehand. I do appreciate it though! you da man :)

Thanks linccracker, work for me :)

you can also use
update-rc.d postgresql enable
update-rd.d metasploit enable

this will start the services at start up so you don't have to type those commands every time to connect.

Follow this Go to application → System Service → Metasploit → community/pro start
Then start metasploit
