Dear Gerhard,

we are happy to hear that you could solve the problem in the end,
and it's nice you reached back and shared your solution. Now since
the scanning can take place we hope you enjoy using OpenVAS.
Happy scanning!

Cheers, Michael.

Michael,

Thijs help me find out where the problem reside. For some unknown
reason, when compiling openvas-manager as an rpm package as I do
before installation, the path related to /var/lib/openvas were
rewritten to /usr/var/lib/openvas in the following script and program.

/usr/bin/openvas-manage-certs
/usr/sbin/greenbone-certdata-sync
/usr/sbin/greenbone-scapdata-sync
/usr/sbin/openvasmd
/usr/sbin/openvasmd-sqlite
/usr/sbin/openvas-migrate-to-postgres

Therefore, my solution was to make a sed on those files and replace
any references for /usr/var/lib/openvas to /var/lib/openvas before
running the installation.

Here my build:

%cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%{_prefix} \
 -DSYSCONFDIR=%{_sysconfdir} \
 -DLOCALSTATEDIR=%{_localstatedir} .

%{__make} %{?_smp_mflags} VERBOSE=1

Regards,
Gerhard.

Dear Gerhard,

could you please execute 'ls -lah' in /var/lib/openvas/mgr/ and
provide us the full output?
Like Harald already said, this process requires some time and the
ammount can vary depending
on the hardware capacities assigned to the machine.

Please use the basic command for rebuilding: openvasmd --rebuild
You can check if the manager is still rebuilding by launching
'htop',
now look in the 'command' tab and if the rebuild is still running,
it will show the following entry:

openvasmd: rebuilding

As soon as this is gone, the process has completed.
If you still want to check if the scanner is running and a sock
existant please do this in a single
step, right before launching 'openvasmd --rebuild'. Here a short
example how to:
[ ! -f /var/run/openvassd.sock ] && echo "Scanner socket not up nor
running"

If the problem still persists even after granting a generous ammount
of waiting time for the rebuilding process,
then we suggest to link us the output of the ls -lah command as
suggested above.

Thank you very much.

Cheers,
Michael.

Hello,
Some generic information about my environment.
Linux CentOS 6.8
openvas-libraries version is 9.0.1
openvas-manger version is 7.0.1
openvas-scanner version is 5.1.1
openvas-gsa version is 7.0.2
OpenVAS compiled from source
When I run the following command -> /usr/bin/openvas-check-setup
--v9
I receive the following error:
ERROR: No OpenVAS Manager database found. (Tried:
/var/lib/openvas/mgr/tasks.db)
FIX: Run 'openvasmd --rebuild' while OpenVAS Scanner is running.
So I run /usr/sbin/openvasmd --otp-scanner=/var/run/openvassd.sock
--rebuild again and again with same result
and how long did you wait?
build/rebuild the database is nothing which finishes within seconds
