Hello,
I just completed an upgrade of OpenVas from version 6 to version 7. I am
running 64bit Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy). GSAD works great. I'm able to login and
view the results of past scans. However, when I try to launch a new scan it
fails with a GSAD status code of error 503, service temporarily down. When I
look in /usr/local/var/log/openvas/ the only file with errors in it is
openvasmd.log. This is the error I get:
event task:MESSAGE:2014-07-22 16h21.47 CDT:24457: Task
20ba6b3d-ab49-4676-ba04-20b7e81c014a could not be started by admin
Below is the output from the openvas-check-setup script:
