/tmp won't work because Debian/Ubuntu is using a "PrivateTmp=true" in its redis systemd script which causes the redis.sock to end up somewhere in: /tmp/systemd-private-xyz* However you don't need to recompile OpenVAS to change the location where it is expecting the redis.sock. Just adding the following to your openvassd.conf (create one in your /path/to/etc/openvas if it doesn't exist): kb_location = /var/run/redis/redis.sock > Thijs Stuurman > Security Operations Center | KPN Internedservices > thijs.stuur...@internedservices.nl<mailto:thijs.stuur...@internedservices.nl> > | thijs.stuur...@kpn.com<mailto:thijs.stuur...@kpn.com> > 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:openvas-discuss-boun...@wald.intevation.org] > Namens Harsh kapadia > Verzonden: vrijdag 23 juni 2017 14:25 > Aan: Eero Volotinen <eero.voloti...@iki.fi> > CC: openvas-discuss@wald.intevation.org > 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. > > Harsh > > On Fri, Jun 23, 2017 at 5:47 PM, Eero Volotinen > <eero.voloti...@iki.fi<mailto:eero.voloti...@iki.fi>> wrote: > sounds like connection to redis it not working. > > Eero > > 23.6.2017 3.15 ip.
