tasks.db is the sqlite database, so you can ignore that openvas-check-setup error (it currently doesn't check which backend openvas manager is using). Have you checked the logs to see why the --rebuild is failing? Or just run it with strace to see where openvas starts to complain (could be a permission problem)?

Hi Ryan, thanks for the quick answer!

I tried to follow the "howto" and the install instructions for each packet.
Finally, when I run the openvas-check-setup, I got the following result:


    # . /openvas-check-setup --v8
    openvas-check-setup 2.3.3
      Test completeness and readiness of OpenVAS-8
      (add '--v6' or '--v7' or '--v9'
       if you want to check for another OpenVAS version)
      Please report us any non-detected problems and
      help us to improve this check routine:
    http://lists.wald.intevation.org/mailman/listinfo/openvas-discuss
      Send us the log-file (/tmp/openvas-check-setup.log) to help
    analyze the problem.
      Use the parameter --server to skip checks for client tools
      like GSD and OpenVAS-CLI.
    Step 1: Checking OpenVAS Scanner ...
            OK: OpenVAS Scanner is present in version 5.0.4.
            OK: OpenVAS Scanner CA Certificate is present as
    /usr/local/var/lib/openvas/CA/cacert.pem.
            OK: redis-server is present in version v=2.8.4.
            OK: scanner (kb_location setting) is configured properly
    using the redis-server socket: /tmp/redis.sock
            OK: redis-server is running and listening on socket:
    /tmp/redis.sock.
            OK: redis-server configuration is OK and redis-server is
    running.
            OK: NVT collection in /usr/local/var/lib/openvas/plugins
    contains 44735 NVTs.
            WARNING: Signature checking of NVTs is not enabled in
    OpenVAS Scanner.
            SUGGEST: Enable signature checking (see
    http://www.openvas.org/trusted-nvts.html).
            OK: The NVT cache in /usr/local/var/cache/openvas contains
    44735 files for 44735 NVTs.
    Step 2: Checking OpenVAS Manager ...
            OK: OpenVAS Manager is present in version 6.0.6.
            OK: OpenVAS Manager client certificate is present as
    /usr/local/var/lib/openvas/CA/clientcert.pem.
    *        ERROR: No OpenVAS Manager database found. (Tried:
    /usr/local/var/lib/openvas/mgr/tasks.db)
    **        FIX: Run 'openvasmd --rebuild' while OpenVAS Scanner is
    running.*
     ERROR: Your OpenVAS-8 installation is not yet complete!




Then, when I tried to run the command "openvasmd --rebuild', It shows the following error:

    # openvasmd --rebuild -v --progress
    *Rebuilding NVT cache... failed.*


Besides, I can't find task.db file.

Any ideas?

Best regards.
Julián.

    If you are doing a clean source install it's pretty
    straightforward following the openvas-manager/doc/postgres-HOWTO
    document. You probably won't find much information googling since
    smaller installations do fine with sqlite and larger installations
    may not want to play around with it yet since it is still
    work-in-progess.
    I've never tried it on a Kali installation, but for my ubuntu
    servers it was just "install postgresql, compile manager with
    postgresql support, grant database permissions, activate uuid-ossp
    extension in postgresql, make sure ld knew the path to the openvas
    libraries"

    Migrating existing data from sqlite to postgresql can be
    complicated since the script doesn't work for all openvas db
    versions (only versions 133-136 if I remember correctly). I just
    exported everything*) using the OMP protocol from a sqlite backend
    manager and imported it to the postgresql backend manager.

    *) "everything" in my case not including the ssh credentials (the
    private key can't be exported via OMP, but it can be imported. so
    you would have to extract it form the database manually if you
    need it).

    Hi!, I have been trying to install openvas with postgresql
    support but with a lot of troubles.

    I installed a fresh kali and last stable openvas from bin / from
    sources, I applied the migration tool too but with a lot of errors.

    I can't find any guide or something googling or reviewing the
    mailing list.

    What is the recommended tasklist to install it? Could you tell me
    some few steps to start again?
    Any comment will be appreciated!!
    Best regards.

    Julian.
