Hello. I am running CentOS 7, and the current release of Openvas. New
install of everything, and patched. I ran the install, and everything seemed
to work fine. The system comes up, but I am unable to scan. This is the
output from the terminal window when I run the check:
Step 1: Checking OpenVAS Scanner ...
OK: OpenVAS Scanner is present in version 5.0.5.
OK: OpenVAS Scanner CA Certificate is present as
/var/lib/openvas/CA/cacert.pem.
OK: redis-server is present in version v=2.8.21.
OK: scanner (kb_location setting) is configured properly using the
redis-server socket: /tmp/redis.sock
ERROR: redis-server is not running or not listening on socket:
/tmp/redis.sock
FIX: You should start the redis-server or configure it to listen on
socket: /tmp/redis.sock
ERROR: Your OpenVAS-8 installation is not yet complete!
This is the output from the log file, which is basically the same:

I attempted to start redis via a command prompt, but it opens in default and
doesn't return a prompt when I execute in terminal session.
I am not all that experienced on this OS and need guidance.
Thanks in advance.
