Fast track does not work

[Tomatoe]

I just put a fresh install of Backtrack 4 on my computer and after updating everything I got an error. To test if this was due to me updating fast track I ran another install and did not update the sql section.


still the same result.

Any way I can solve this? Backtrack run perfectly fine in the past.

Output:

msf > db_destroy pentest

connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

Hello mate,
To work around it I simply changed one setting in /etc/postgresql/8.3/main/postgresql.conf:

ssl = true

I changed to:

ssl = false

That is it!
