Hi please i need the help of anyone available i am new here. i need help with my gvm-setup i keep having and error
What the error message doesn’t tell you is that you also have to swap the PostgreSQL ports. You need to modify the /etc/postgresql/16/main/postgresql.conf and /etc/postgresql/15/main/postgresql.conf files and adjust the ports so that PG version 16 uses port = 5432.
Then restart PostgreSQL service:
$ sudo systemctl restart posgresql
You can change version 15 to another port, or otherwise, uninstall it completely. For future reference, if you are using an older Kali install media, you should do a full update and upgrade which will automatically manage the pg_upgradecluster for you but I think you will still need to migrate the service ports.
$ sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y
