Okay I did that and the install seemed to at least have me do more things this time around, but how long should the "Rebuilding NVT cache..." take? Here's the steps I took to remove and then reinstall. Let me know if I missed anything.
# yum remove openvas openvas-cli openvas-cli-debuginfo openvas-gsa openvas-libraries \ openvas-libraries-debuginfo openvas-libraries-devel openvas-libraries-doc \ openvas-manager openvas-manager-debuginfo openvas-scanner openvas-scanner-debuginfo \ openvas-smb-debuginfo openvas-smb # find / -name "openvas" # rm -rf /etc/openvas/ # rm -rf /usr/include/openvas/ # rm -rf /usr/share/openvas/ # rm -rf /var/lib/openvas/ # rm -rf /var/log/openvas/ # rm -rf /var/cache/openvas/ # yum install openvas -y I then ran the "openvas-check-setup" and it had me do the following. # openvas-nvt-sync # openvas-mkcert-client -n -i It then gave me the error: ERROR No OpenVAS Manager database found. (Tried: /var/lib/openvas/mgr/tasks.db) Said my OpenVAS Scanner is NOT running, so I did the following: # openvassd I then waited for the NVT's to load before doing the following: # openvasmd --rebuild --progress And it's just sitting there so curious how long that takes? -----Original Message----- From: Openvas-discuss [mailto:openvas-discuss-boun...@wald.intevation.org] On Behalf Of Ralf Hildebrandt Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2016 4:12 AM To: openvas-discuss@wald.intevation.org Subject: Re: [Openvas-discuss] Reinstall Issues * Turner,Jonas <jotur...@hcr-manorcare.com>: > The openvasmd --rebuild just doesn’t seem to want to work.

I had to deinstall, remove all files, install again. -- Ralf Hildebrandt Charite Universitätsmedizin Berlin ralf.hildebra...@charite.de Campus Benjamin Franklin http://www.charite.de Hindenburgdamm 30, 12203 Berlin Geschäftsbereich IT, Abt.
