Metasploit RPC daemon Shut Down [SOLVED]

[V3nD3774]

Hi All,
as u know i was trying to have Armitage working but, in doing this i did discover that maybe a i have another issue to be sorted out first, the issue is the Metasploit.

I will now list the problem:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Open Armitage
2.Click on connect

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
it suppose to open armitage window

i am using the latest version of backbox.

The error i get is this:



Following this link: http://code.google.com/p/armitage/issues/detail?id=95
I have understood that i might have a problem with Metasploit environment that is out of date.
In fact, if i run :

raffaele,
i have followed your suggestion, but now msfconsole does not start, it requires bundler gem to be installed, ok.
But even after having it installed, it does not start:

i know i am making some stupid mistake...any suggestion ?

but if i try to install factory_girl 4.2.0, the reply i get is that i need the updated version of ruby...   ???

[V3nD3774]

Ok, tx to all guys.

The main issue was to remove rubygems and ruby1.8.
Once done I only had to refresh msf.

Now Armitage works fine, as well.

Tx again,
~V

[ch3rl13]

after you've made the update you have just removed rubygems and ruby1.8?

[V3nD3774]

ch3rl13,
i had to remove rubygems and ruby1.8, because this was the issue for me. Before doing this you have to check whether this is your problem as well.

In my case it was not possible to install factory_girl, and i needed ruby1.9.2.

After this i did re-installed msf, created the database and started armitage.
