Forum Thread: I Have a Postqresql Problem

Maybe you could be more specific on what you intend to do?

I have Kali Linux on a phone device and whatever I try to start postgresql ore I try apt-get upgrade I have in error message

Someone already tell me that I have to edit update-rc.d and add postgresql to whitelist and comment in blacklistl

I think are taking advice from someone who does not know what they are doing.

What are you using PostgreSQL for?

Is just not working when I type apt-get upgread

I find those info on the net and sorry for my bad English that's because I am not English

First, check the log messages as the error says.

Second, you don't need postgresql to use Metasploit.

Sorry but i am new on the android so where I can check the log message on android

Why are you determined to have postgresql? You should have MySQL installed.

I have my SQL installed already

Then, use MySQL.

When I run msfconsol I get

root@kali:~# msfconsole

• 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

Metasploit runs fine without postgresql.

Yeah working but still having that error below. And look up for posgresql to work for armitage

msfconsole works great without postgresql. This is only a problem on the mobile version of Kali. Either use the x86 or x64 version or even easier, use msfconsole.
