arober23 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I'm not completely new to pentesting and Im not completely new to Kali Linux, We've been using Kali Linux for Everything at school. I have Kali on a usb I boot up everything works great. Recently I was given a hp Chromebook 14 and decided to install Kali using the crouton method. The distro is bare so you have to install a metapackage after the initial setup. I installed the kali-linux-top10 which is the top 10 security pentesting tools. Today I finally sat down for the first time to really play around with Kali and to Pentest my network which I did and I found a few vulnerable ports on another laptop running in the house so I decided to use metasploit and see what I could get my hands on but i got this *] Starting the Metasploit Framework console.../[-] Failed to connect to the database: could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? So none of the exploits are working..... I know this is a user error and the fix has to be something simple but i could use some help .....any suggestions?

cooper Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 5432 is the default port for Postgresql. Is it running? Found this thread on the Kali forums that suggests the same: https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?2601-Metasploit-starting-issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
