The doc/redis_config.txt (from openvas-scanner) has some tips and
information on how OpenVAS expects redis to be set up (and also example
configs for 2.4 and 2.6).
What you are probably missing are:
unixsocket /tmp/redis.sock
unixsocketperm 700
You will also probably want to turn of listening on a network port with
"port 0" in the redis config unless you have something monitoring it
that needs the tcp interface.

Am I looking in the wrong place? I see no reference to redis NOR any
reference to SELinux in:
http://www.openvas.org/install-packages-v7.html (Installation guide)
https://wiki.openvas.org/index.php/Main_Page (site Wiki)
http://www.openvas.org/documentation.html (Documentation link)
These seem to be the primary channels to tell new users how to
install. If there is a better place to look for documentation, I'd
love to see it and it might be a good idea to clearly link to it from
the installation instructions.

OpenVAS will not work with selinux correctly.
You need to correctly configure redis as documented .

I'm not sold on the need to disable SELinux here, but that may help.
At this point, I have the installation of OpenVAS up and running, but
when I ran my first scan, it completed with the following error:
WARNING: Cannot connect to KB at '/tmp/redis.sock': Connection
refused'
So.... off to install redis. Did the yum install, systemctl enable,
systemctl start, and even restarted and re-ran openvas-setup.
systemctl status redis shows it is running.
The error persists in new scans.
Any ideas here?
