[skull2006]

Hi,

i have install NeXpose and i follow the steps very goood but when i try login to NeXpose it show me these lines below:
NeXpose is running in maintenance mode, which enables it to perform necessary internal tasks or to recover from the critical failure of one or more of its subsystems. You will not be able to run scans or generate reports while NeXpose is in maintenance mode.

and after i make login it show me this :
Database initialization failed : Error starting PostgreSQL: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/opt/rapid7/nexpose/nsc/nxpgsql/pgsql/nxpgsql": java.io.IOException: error=13, Permission denied

so i need your help guys....

Go to the nexpose Rapid7 community website and join their mailing list. There is a fast turn around on issues and they are the experts on the product. After you get a response and would like to share it here then feel free to do so.
Otherwise you may get misleading, or worse information that will actually frustrate you rather than help.

Do you have Java installed ? If I remember correctly it needs Java installed to run.

[Archangel-Amael]

Again join the mailing list and post there. It's not that we can't or won't help but you will get better more reliable answers there.
In the meantime see also Pentest Analytics in regards to your above error "NeXpose security console exited with code 0"

i did what you said and i got this i will try it:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I see 2 errors of note:

AU-BDE60169D2010-06-26T18:16:29 Establishing HTTP connection with updates.rapid7.com via proxy (updates.rapid7.com:80)...
Nexpose 2010-06-26T18:16:33 Failed to activate product.

And

postgresql 2010-06-26T18:16:34 Nexpose PostgreSQL service status: 1
NSC 2010-06-26T18:16:35 A critical error occured during initialization: java.sql.SQLException: Error starting PostgreSQL: com.rapid7.os.OSException: Could not start the nxpgsql daemon

For problem 1 I would recommend checking to make sure that the system can make an outbound connection to updates.rapid7.com as the error usually occurs when NeXpose is being blocked from the update server.

For error 2 it usually happens when NeXpose is installed on a system with Postgresql already running. The daemon will be unable to start because the port (5432) will most likely already be in use.

Have a look at: NeXpose Community - Common Errors - Rapid7 Community Portal

Let us know how it goes J

Did you have a network connection when you installed?

Why are you reading the install log from the bottom to the top? The more recent messages (bottom) are likely irrelevant if there were earlier error messages (top)....

[Archangel-Amael]

If you can't connect to the update server during the initial run up then it likely your license key has not been activated to your copy.

Damn I wrote the whole thing and then actually read thorin's post.

OP again follow my initial advice.
