Kali v2.0 + msfdb + postgresql + armitage problem

**brunoaduarte** · 2015-12-30

Hi,

I'm trying to run armitage in Kali v2.0 + USB persistence. But i got a problem with "msfdb init" that i'm unable to fix.

I've got latest version from all modules
- armitage150813
- postgresql 9.4

Code:

root@kali:~# apt-get clean && apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
...
root@kali:~# /etc/init.d/postgresql start
[ ok ] Starting postgresql (via systemctl): postgresql.service.

root@kali:~# msfdb reinit
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
        Is the server running locally and accepting
        connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

root@kali:~# netstat -nlp | grep 5432
root@kali:~#

root@kali:~# armitage[*] Starting msfrpcd for you.
[*] MSGRPC starting on 127.0.0.1:55553 (NO SSL):Msg...

Anyone knows how to fix this ?

hi :-)
if this can be a little input for help(i'm not expert)
I THINK try to delete database.yml(/usr/share/metasploit-framework/config/database.yml) && create a new one with msfdb command:
root@kali:~# msfdb

Manage a metasploit framework database

msfdb init # initialize the database
msfdb reinit # delete and reinitialize the database
msfdb delete # delete database and stop using it
msfdb start # start the database
msfdb stop # stop the database

root@kali:~#

OR:
IF YOU launch msfconsole && type db_status ..you GET postgresql SELECTION but NO connection???
if yes && if you want && if it work in kali2.0 :
create manually "based on postgresql" && connect to metasploit && armitage
my OLD video"test in kali 1.1.a"....around 7' minute & 38 sec
https://vimeo.com/124689095
OR :
reinstall all packages && RE msfdbinit

NORMAL work in kali-sana:

Thank you very much @zimmaro !!!

Seems that the "purge" option when uninstalling modules + the manual remove of "/usr/share/metasploit-framework" folder did the job !

Code:

root@kali:~# apt-get purge postgresql-9.4 metasploit-framework -y

Code:

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

Now finally i got the unix service running in /var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432

Code:

root@kali:~# netstat -nlp | grep 5432

And finally

Code:

root@kali:~# msfdb init
