Unable to upgrade shell to meterpreter session

Question

I am trying to upgrade a normal shell to a meterpreter session using "shell_to_meterpreter" module. However, it does not work. I did not receive any errors after the module finished execution. enter image description here

Answer 1

Did you try running sessions -ls to view your sessions and then sessions # where # number is the name of the session whose type matches meterpreter? i.e. sessions 2

In some versions of metasploit new shell sessions are set to background automatically. I am assuming this is also the case with new meterpreter sessions.
