Briefly describe your issue below:
Trying to initialize the metasploit database I get this error, I have been searching for a fix all day and haven’t been able to find one. This is a fresh setup of parrot on virtual box, nothing has been done to it. Also previously when I did a fresh setup of parrot I looked at the port for the postgresql server as some posts said the port would be wrong but it was right. I have no clue what is wrong with metasploit.
What version of Parrot are you running? (include version (e.g. 4.6), edition(e.g. Home//KDE/OVA, etc.), and architecture (currently we only support amd64)
Security 4.9.1 OVA
What method did you use to install Parrot? (Debian Standard / Debian GTK / parrot-experimental)
Virtual box ova
Configured to multiboot with other systems? (yes / no)
Don’t know what that is
