Hi -
I've successfully done a get and full build (make and make install) of the 
trunk of version 9 of OpenVAS.  I've also successfully retrieved all of the 
scripts.
My issue is with redis.server and being able to specify another location 
besides /tmp/redis.sock.  I found some references online about the hard-coding 
of the path having been fixed in 2015 and I saw another article that mentions 
putting the setting in a config file in /etc/openvas/openvassd.conf, but when I 
do that, I still cannot get OpenVAS to look there for the location of the 
socket file.
In the /etc/openvas/openvassd.conf file, I have:
kb_location=/var/run/redis/redis.sock

In the /etc/redis/redis.conf file, I made sure I have:

unixsocket /var/run/redis/redis.sock
unixsocketperm 700

I've confirmed that the socket file is there when redis.server starts up.

I'm trying to start up openvassd, but getting the following error:

(openvassd:20208): lib  kb_redis-CRITICAL **: get_redis_ctx: redis connection 
error: No such file or directory
(openvassd:20208): lib  kb_redis-CRITICAL **: redis_new: cannot access redis at 
'/tmp/redis.sock'
(openvassd:20208): lib  kb_redis-CRITICAL **: get_redis_ctx: redis connection 
error: No such file or directory

I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but a little help would be much 
appreciated.

Platform:  Ubuntu 16.04

Thanks in advance,
Mark
