Hi, I'm currently using the BackBox Linux 2.05 - i386 distro in VMWare with 2GB alloted to RAM and 20GB alloted to memory. Further details are that I've updated the metasploit framework and installed all other updates.
The database part is where I'm having the issue, I've followed all the recommended ways to resolve this issue as mentioned in the BackBox wiki and from the fastandeasyhacking FAQ, I also followed the guide as suggested by Stolas. The main issue is that these directories don't seem to exist when trying to modify these files.
Appreciate the help and any further details you need, please feel free to ask 
will go through very quickly...
pls provide the following details/outputs:
1) ps aux |grep postgre
2) tail -20 /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-8.4-main.log
3) cat /etc/passwd |grep postg
4) su postgres and once switched type psql
5) /etc/init.d/postgresql status
All above bullet points are very basic troubleshooting for average linux users....
however, provide the details of them then we can see where is the problem....
NOTE: If you are using BB205 I have no clue where did you get this stuff "/etc/init.d/framework-postgres start" neither I understand what you were trying to do performing that.....
