I am having the same problem as well. I run the same command as Jenbo, but the passwords seems to be wrong?!?! I have updated like described above. Unforrtunantly no luck with the password error. Have tried with blank password and toor.

Any suggestiens?
Sorry if this is a n00b question.

Hi Everybody,

Yesterday I tried to use metasploit with database, and I discovered that need to change to ruby version 1.8. To do it:

# apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
# update-alternatives –config ruby
Here change to 1.8
# gem install mysql

[exeption]

I think this has something to do with ruby-gem.. when doing db_driver in msf there is no active driver loaded.. even gem install mysql and postgresql does not seem to work..
I have now done gem update and gem update --system to try and fix this issue, but it sees that nothing is working at all.. Even an reinstall of framwork3 does not fix the issues of the databases.
Cannot even start armitage due to that mysql or postgresql does not work.

I am seriously thinking about migrating to Blackbuntu, even to Ubuntu where everything workes like a charm sadly enough!

Hope someone can fix this issue so that I can enjoy metasploit, armitage or even mysql databases for some php/sql scripting

[setrip]

# apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
# update-alternatives –config ruby
Here change to 1.8
# gem install mysql

This worked, thank you!

So you're more lucky than most of us who can't just make msf start......
what did you do special to make it works ?
