Metasploit-framework wont start after dist-upgrade?

[jacke4123]

I ran a dist-upgrade and metasploit has stopped working?

Any help would be great

Here are the errors I am receiving......




root@kali:~# /etc/init.d/postgresql start

root@kali:~# msfdb init
A database appears to be already configured, skipping initialization


root@kali:~# service metasploit start

On Kali 2 to run Metasploit you just click the Metasploit icon on the dash-to-dock on Gnome 3, the developers have
wrote a shell command so you dont have to start the services manually.

First thing I'd check is your ports, what I see when metaploit is running is:

root@kali:~# netstat -tpe
Active Internet connections (w/o servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State User Inode PID/Program name
tcp6 0 0 localhostostgresql localhost:57854 ESTABLISHED postgres 33853 3219/postgres: msf
tcp6 0 0 localhost:57852 localhostostgresql ESTABLISHED root 33827 3163/ruby
tcp6 0 0 localhostostgresql localhost:57852 ESTABLISHED postgres 32954 3197/postgres: msf
tcp6 0 0 localhost:57853 localhostostgresql ESTABLISHED root 32958 3163/ruby

tcp6 0 0 localhost:57854 localhostostgresql ESTABLISHED root 33852 3163/ruby

You are gettting an error about port 5432, so open a terminal and check what ports are open:

netstat -tpe


Try and start metsaploit using this command:

sh -c "service postgresql start && msfdb init & msfconsole;${SHELL:-bash}

That is the command used on the Gnome menu and the dock.
ist-upgrades often do not go smooth and takes 3x longer than a fresh install
as the dist-upgrade has to check dependencies of all installed packages. If
a conflick occurs it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages first,
as stated in the apt-get manual.
