Hi there,
Connection to the postgresql database doesn't work for metasploit after the last updates.
You can check that from msfconsole by typing : db_status which shows : postgresql selected, no connection
As a temporary solution (I hope ;-)), you can, from the msfconsole, type : db_connect -y /opt/metasploit/apps/pro/ui/config/database.yml
This is automatically rebuild the cache and get you connected to the database.
Hope that helps someone out there.
Hi Ulairi,
Thanks for this temporary solution. it worked and helped me.
Hope this issue will be fixed soon.
Thx!
I hope the solution comes this week.
TNX! for fast-fix!!Quote:

I had this same error from a brand-new install (Kali 1.0.9 ISO image). I installed it a couple of times thinking that I must have done something to screw it up. When that didn't work, I did an "apt-get purge metasploit" followed by an "apt-get install metasploit", but that didn't fix it. I then tried Ulairi's solution, but got a "file not found" error message when I tried connecting. I then manually went to the folder "/opt/metasploit/apps/pro/ui/config/" and found that there weren't any YML files. However, there was the familiar looking file, "database.yml.example". I copied this file to "database.yml", and the db_connect worked and all seems well, now.
I'm not sure where in the install/configuration steps this database is supposed to be created or renamed, but it's not happening.
it didn't work for me.Quote:

This all came about with the release of 4.10. Rapid7 is aware of the 'aftermath' of it. For more information ~ https://community.rapid7.com/communi...ting-the-wheel
In short, you need to tell Metasploit the database location if you upgrade. (If you do a fresh install, its been fixed).
Method one - point to the database (you can copy or soft-link. I prefer to soft-link.).
ORCode:ln -sf /opt/metasploit/apps/pro/ui/config/database.yml /root/.msf4/database.yml
#cp /opt/metasploit/apps/pro/ui/config/database.yml /root/.msf4/database.yml
Method two - use an alias when starting up msfconsole
Code:file=/root/.bash_aliases; [ -e $file ]
grep -q '^alias msfconsole' $file 2>/dev/null || echo -e '\n### Metasploit\nalias msfconsole="msfconsole db_connect -y /opt/metasploit/apps/pro/ui/config/database.yml"\n' >> $file
source $file
Thanks G0m1k. It worked for me by copying the database file.
"db_connect -y /etc/dradis/database.yml" it would be working for every kali 2.0 user. :)
DO NOT DO THIS..Quote:

If you are using Kali 2 or kali rolling, use msfdb init
As you can see - it will create the database file for you /usr/share/metasploit-framework/config/database.ymlCode:root@kali:~# msfdb init
Creating database user 'msf'
Enter password for new role:
Enter it again:
Creating databases 'msf' and 'msf_test'
Creating configuration file in /usr/share/metasploit-framework/config/database.yml
Creating initial database schema
root@kali:~#
...if something goes wrong, msfdb reinit
What if someone has already used "db_connect -y /etc/dradis/database.yml" ?
How can they revert the changes?

Thank you very much for this post. Even though it's several years old, it solved a problem I had today. And thank you to Kali Linux forums, for leaving old posts like these that are still very helpful.Quote:
