        SUGGEST: Start OpenVAS Scanner (openvassd).

So I tried various switches with openvassd including simply "openvassd" and
"openvassd --listen=0.0.0.0 --port=9393". It seems to be running:

[root@scanner ~]# netstat -anp|grep open
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:9390            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
3239/openvasmd
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:9391            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
1092/openvassd: Rel
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:9393            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
2610/openvassd: Rel
tcp6       0      0 :::9390                 :::*                    LISTEN
1133/openvasmd

but the openvas-check-setup still says it's not running. I've been searching
for a solution, but I'm stumped. This is for a CentOS 7 system. Thanks

try to update this to the latest available 2.3.3 first which is available
here:

The scanner needs to be running if you want to rebuild with the scanner.

This sounds like the common redis issue seen quite often in the past.
Try to edit your redis.conf and comment out all "save" statements.
Afterwards, stop redis, remove the dump.rdb (e.g. in /var/lib/redis) and
start redis again.
