Can't get db_postgres working properly

[abitaz]

I can't get the server to be listening so I get error messages when creating databases, and their not there for me. Such as, db_hosts brings up an error. I checked netstat and port 5432 is not listening. I read online that the config may need adjusting, but I fond no config file in backtrack. I downloaded the installable postgres in windoze and installed and got the port into listening that way, but I still got an error when creating, no such file found. What in heaven am I missing. Thanks for any help. I would really like to try out autopwn. BTW, I had similar problems if I ran mysql. Thanks a lot.

Even though this has been covered I don't know how many times I'm going to give you a break because its Christmas. The postgress server is buggy so you need to use sqlite.

Rel1k has made a outstanding tool called fast-track which will do it all for you. Simply run the script, install all the stuff you need for autopwn and then run with it. Merry Christmas

or simply

here is a script i used in ezpawn development

the avantage is to get the LATEST AVAILABLE SQLITE

echo "# UPDATING SQLITE LIBRARIES #"
echo "Please Wait"
echo
echo
sleep 2
mkdir /tmp/sqliteupdate/
cd /tmp/sqliteupdate
echo "ENTER anonymous AS PASSWORD .... CHARS DON'T APPEARS...."
echo
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@www.sqlite.org:/sqlite login
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@www.sqlite.org:/sqlite checkout sqlite
echo
echo "DOWNLOAD OVER !!! INSTALLATION IN PROGRESS !!! "
cd /tmp/sqliteupdate/sqlite
echo
configure;make clean; make install
echo
echo
echo "# SQLITE LIBRARIES UPDATE OVER #"
V=$(sqlite3 -version)
echo -n "NEW VERSION IS : $V"

copy paste in a text file ..... give exec right ...

run

will update sqlite to latest one
just enter the cvs password when asked , it's 'anonymous'

enjoy...

As a learning newbie, please bear with me. What do you mean to give it execution rights and how do I do it?

create text file ....

copy past in

close text file

right click / properties / permissions / check is executable / OK

or in console

chmod +xX /path/to/your/file
