Re: [Openvas-discuss] Scanner Doesn't Start After Running Openvasmd --update
It appears there's an issue with his NVT cache not being generated as well. I've experienced this myself where if the NVT cache has an issue, the OpenVAS9 scanner won't launch. Sometimes this happens if the machine running OpenVAS9 experienced a sudden power loss during a scan.

[Openvas-discuss] Scanner Doesn't Start After Running Openvasmd --update
I'm running openvas on a kali linux server and after running the openvasmd --update and --rebuild commands, I can't get the scanner to start. Typically when the scanner won't start, I run this command which fixes it but this time it doesn't: redis-cli -s /var/run/redis/redis.sock flushall I tried replacing the scanner keys using openvas-manage-certs but that didn't allow it to start either. Here's what the logs say: /var/log/openvas/openvasmd.log openvas_scanner_connect_unix: Failed to connect to scanner (/var/run/openvassd.sock): Connection refused openvas-check-setup results: Step 1: Checking OpenVAS Scanner ...
