So I checked that the redis.sock file exists in the /tmp directory and
openVAS expects it at the same place.
Checking presence of redis ...
OK: redis-server is present in version v=3.0.7.
Checking if redis-server is configured properly to run with openVAS ...
OK: scanner (kb_location setting) is configured properly using the
redis-server socket: /tmp/redis.sock
Checking if redis-server is running ...
OK: redis-server is running and listening on socket:
/tmp/redis.sock.
OK: redis-server configuration is OK and redis-server is running.
The redis.conf file creates socket in the same place:
unixsocket /tmp/redis.sock
unixsocketperm 700
Do I have to recompile or just restart services for changing this path and
conf file?
Thanks!
