Kali Linux Metasploit under Postgresql connection problems

When most people first use metasploit search tool module will see in kali "There is no connection to the database, use slow search," which for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder who can not let him exist ah. Initially I have encountered, go to Baidu, we found many ways to process people without dizziness, operations meal not effective.

In fact, the main problem is not to create a database when first-time users, do not have this database.yml you will not even have to ah. So we need to create a can Baidu to create their own methods, but it is not convenient (personally think), I recommended two simple ways:

method one:

            The first step of course is to start postgresql database services. (Residues wrong hands before sorry)       

service postgresql start

           The second step, initialization msf database automatically generates a file database.yml in / usr / share / metasploit-framework / config

msfdb init

This process will let you enter a password, and a little fast, which can be ignored, it will automatically generate a password for you.

After the two-stage performer, open msf, see db_status, you can already see such a news:

[*]postgresql connected to msf

Method Two:

        In fact, with a method of the same principle, but changed manually, and initially had two such .yml files in / usr / share / metasploit-framework / config: database.yml.example and database.yml.travis, in the database. yml.example there will be some key fields such as

adapter：

database：

username：

password: ______________________________ (empty)

This is actually just like its name suffix, is a sample database file, a detailed description database.yml.travis document, the words that you want to customize a database file can be executed

cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml

(Specific form depending on your current position), is to copy the contents of database.yml.example in database.yml, and then change the password yourself.

Note: The next time you start the system is also first open service postgresql start metasploit will be automatically connected

to sum up:

The principle is called the second method requires a database.yml file, a specific operation or recommended method.
