Hi folks

I am using Dradis Community v3.1.0.rc2 on Kali 2016.2. All is working well, nmap plugin imports fine and populates a plugin.output node with results.

I have use Metasploit’s db\_export command to export the Metasploit DB and am trying to import into Dradis.

The import seems to progress OK in the progress bar, gets to 100%, file size if around 8MB, so not too large, yet the Dradis Output console remains blank and I don’t see any imported data?

Any ideas why this might be happening? Any ideas how to fix it?!

Thanks

Got it working finally, hadn’t got the redis service running and the background worker wasn’t started properly.
