['Database not connected' error]

Hi, thanks for both the replies. I'm still not to sure what the problem is but I've installed Armitage and the MSF console works fine in it so I'll stick with it for the time being.

Thanks,

['Database not connected' error]

Hello everyone. In short I'm new to metasploit and have been following the tutorials on hak5. I'm using Kali and the installation went fine although when I go to use almost any command in metasploit I get the message 'Database not connected'. I've made sure that I've done both:

'Service postgresql start'

'Service metasploit start'

I've also used the command in metasploit 'db_status' and the message 'postgresql selected, no connection' is displyed.

This all being the case I was wondering if this was a common problem and if anyone knew how to fix it or if I'm just being an idiot and its really simple?

Thanks for any help,

Tekk3y

Hi, I tried this and I am still unable to change the state of wlan0. :(

[Wlan 0 doesn't enable.]

Also when I type in ifconfig, wlan0 doesn't come up. I also dont see where you want me to type mount for you.

Is that in a different file? If so which one, and if not that's everything that was in the network settings document.

Thanks, Tekk3y.

Hi so iv done this and I will attach the file in my first post. Thanks or all of your help.

[Wlan 0 doesn't enable.]

Hi thanks for the reply. So iv run the command and I was wondering how I go about uploading the file from the sd, thanks.

[Wlan 0 doesn't enable.]

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. I just checked and my firmware version is in the first image I attached.

Thanks, Tekk3y

[Wlan 0 doesn't enable.]

Hello everyone. I'm currently having trouble with client mode on the wi-Fi pineapple. My problem is that when I try to enable wlan0 on the network tile it doesn't allow me to. I can see in the URL bar that it tries to do this but instead of initializing/ enabling wlan0 it just refreshes the bar. I will attach a link to an image of this below.

I hope that someone here can help me with the problem and thank you for any help you might be able to give.

Thanks, Tekk3y.

If you changed the ip of you're LAN back to 172.16.42.42 it should work.

If not just try to power cycle your mark v.

So how would I do this exactly as I tried accessing the pineapples network adapters (e.g. internet facing adapter & pineapple facing adapter) to check its ip but they do not show up. So i dont know how I would change their ip back.

[Blue light flashing]

that's how the guide says to do and that's how i did but in my attempts to get a configuration to allow the pinapple be my dumb access point i have left it connected to my modem and have successful been able to (after restore) to just connect to it over wifi. i just make sure that before i put in the password to walk over to it and go from 10011 back 11111 for the dip switches. After i accept my password and conditions i merely reconnect to it via wifi again (don't have it setup to auto connect) then go over to 172.16.42.1:1471

So what are you suggesting that I do exactly?

[Blue light flashing]

Over the ethernet cable. Isn't that how your suppose to do it?

[Blue light flashing]

Yes, and it keeps saying that it cannot connect.

[Blue light flashing]

Hey, thanks for the response. So i followed the steps that were in the other post and re flashed my pineapple although now when I start it back up with all switches up I get a red, blue, amber pattern... that is after the initial blue flashing. I still cant seem to connect to the web interface and doesn't that combination of lights mean that the firmware flash has been successful, does that make sense after a reboot.

I would give you more information if I knew what was needed, what sorts of other information could I give you?

Any help would be great.

Hey guys. I set up my WiFi pineapple MK5 a month ago and as im off uni for the holidays decided to have some fun with it again. Although when I set the pineapple up I get a blue light (it flashes sometimes so im fairly sure it is the light for booting up). I tried leaving it for several hours last night to see if it just needed a while to boot up but still nothing and the light is still there. I have tried connecting to the web interface when it is like this but that doesn't appear to work ever. I was wondering if any of you guys knew why this was and how to fix it or if im just being an idiot and its really simple.

Thanks for any help you might be able to give,
