Hi, your default redis installation only listens on the tcp port, not the UNIX Socket.
>From openvas-scanner-5.0.4/doc/redis_config.txt: OpenVAS can currently only access redis via a unix socket. This choice has been made for the sake of speed and security. No authentication is supported yet, we rely on filesystem permissions to protect the KBs. The path to the unix socket is '/tmp/redis.sock' by default, and can be changed using the 'kb_location' parameter. On the redis side, use the following directives: port 0 # prevent redis from listening on a TCP socket unixsocket /tmp/redis.sock unixsocketperm 700 timeout 0 There is also a example config shipped with OpenVAS that you can use.
