In Parrot Security the msf cant connect to postgres on a fresh install.
Msf want to connect to postges on port 5432
You need to change the port from 5433 to 5432
Edit the /etc/postgresql/10/main/postgresql.conf:
sudo nano /etc/postgresql/10/main/postgresql.conf

Search for port = and chage it to 5432
Restart postgresql:
sudo service postgresql restart
thats it, hope it is solve your problem :slight_smile:

I know this is old just wanted to share what I found after receiving this same error in parrot 4.10

Steps:

  1. Fresh install of ParrotOS 4.10
  2. Connected to network, ran “sudo parrot-upgrade”, then rebooted.
  3. Noticed postgresql was not running.
  4. /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-12-main.log showed “FATAL: could not load server certificate file “/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem”: No such file or directory”
  5. Regenerated the snakeoil cert with “sudo make-ssl-cert generate-default-snakeoil”
  6. Rebuilt the database “sudo msfdb reinit”
  7. Afterwards I was able to confirm the db was connected to metasploit after launching the console with “db_status”.

I hope this helps!

This is a different problem i believe. It could be new postgresql problem about cert. Program updates, structure changes, bugs happen.
