Error Metasploit

The document describes troubleshooting steps to resolve a Metasploit error connecting to the local PostgreSQL database. The key steps are to edit the Metasploit database configuration file 'database.yml' to change the PostgreSQL port from the default 5432 to 5433, copy the edited file to the Metasploit configuration directory, and restart PostgreSQL. This allows Metasploit to connect to the database and launch msfconsole.
