call stack error with both metasploit drivers.

[Nyk0n]

I am having a hell of a time concerning issues with metasploit on BT5. I recieve call stack errors when trying to create databases with both drivers mysql and postgresql. below is metasploit's output. If someone could help me out, I'd appreciate it. Also, off-topic but what are the commands to install sqlite?

Hi,

Me too. I posted earlier when I couldn't open my BT4 MSF database on BT5. I've just checked and I can't create a NEW database without getting the same error.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Exact same story here.

The MySQL gem was working out of the box in BT4R2.

Edit: Looks like another thread stating this exact same issue was closed all because it had the string 'BT4' in it. Tell the forum users to read, read, read. -- Then fail to do it themselves. Lovely.

I was already connected to a db when i started up.
I ran nmap and saved the scan to as x.nmap.
Then ran

root@bt:~# msfconsole

msf > db_import /root/x.namp

it was imported without any problems

i didn't need to use the db_driver or db_connect commands

[wtmh144]

No s@!t. Well... That shut me up. We're already connected.

Happy to see it honestly. I had to script that connection in in the previous version.

Not too friendly to those who want to use different DBMS's though.

[Quartercask]

He's correct - it's already connected. However if you disconnect then switch to mysql and try to load or create a new DB it gives the same error.

Yep...I saw that one.

[Quartercask]

Does anyone have an idea of how to fix this?

I have limited knowledge, but have removed and reinstalled MSF3 but it's still the same.

Thanks

Same story here. I can't destroy the default-connected database when I'm done either which isn't world crashing but it's frustrating. I like to use different databases on different jobs.

Anyone have any luck yet?

This is happening on the VM instance of BT5 and two different laptops running the x86 Gnome BT5 versions. I'm also having occasional call stack error troubles with msfrpc and msfrpcd.

[Quartercask]

The same thing happens on KDE.
