First check where your redis.sock actually is located; if it exists at all.. look at your redis configuration file for the path. Then look at where openvas expects it to be.. it should show in the logging.
I run openvas9 on Ubuntu 16.04 and openvas somehow expects it to be in /tmp/ but for some (probably good) reason redis refuses or cannot make it in /tmp. Haven’t bothered to figure out why, set it back to default /var/run/redis/redis.sock and made a symlink in /tmp to it because I had to get it working ;p (ln -s /var/run/redis/redis.sock /tmp/redis.sock) .. I should recompile openvas to fix the path I guess.. someday.. after my vacation ;p Thijs Stuurman Security Operations Center | KPN Internedservices [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> | [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> T: +31(0)299476185 | M: +31(0)624366778 PGP Key-ID: 0x16ADC048 (https://pgp.surfnet.nl/) Fingerprint: 2EDB 9B42 D6E8 7D4B 6E02 8BE5 6D46 8007 16AD C048 W: https://www.internedservices.nl<https://www.internedservices.nl/> | L: http://nl.linkedin.com/in/thijsstuurman Van: Openvas-discuss [mailto:[email protected]] Namens Harsh kapadia Verzonden: vrijdag 23 juni 2017 14:25 Aan: Eero Volotinen <[email protected]> CC: [email protected] Onderwerp: Re: [Openvas-discuss] Scans not executing Thanks for responding! Should I move the socket file from /tmp to /run/redis and also modify the kb_location path accordingly? I'm new to openvas and not really sure what needs to be done.

Everything seems OK but still the scans do not execute: I do still see the below errors in openvassd.dump file.

SELinux is turned off so it shouldn't be a problem to use the socket for redis from /tmp directory.
