Uhm .. I tried with MySQl, but my laptop didn't like it and yada yada yada, so i made a work-around with postgresql :-)

pretty similar but you could try this too ---> http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...ostgresql.html

Try running db_connect –y /opt/framework3/config/database.yml at an msf> prompt. This will connect you to the built-in postgresql instance that's mentioned in 2901119's link above. In order for the db_connect command above to work, you'll need to start msfconsole from the gui menu option.

Ensure that the mysql client is running?? -

/$ cd /etc/init.d

/$ ./mysql start


Might be worth trying.

Then the connect string should be something like db_connect root:toor@<ipaddress>/<optionalinstancename>

if the DB is not found, it should create one.
