Manage_update_nvt_cache_osp: failed to connect to /opt/gvm/var/run/ospd.sock

Hello,
I followed this guide to install GVM 11 on CentOS 8:

Full GVM-11 Build Guide for CentOS 8

Here you go folks. I have been working on this for a few days now. We’re a CentOS shop, and I have not come across any full CentOS-related build documents for GVM source code. I hope to make this a trend. Disclaimers: I am a systems administrator, not a programmer. There’s probably some better ways to fix things up. The following is based on a fresh install of CentOS 8.1.1911, “minimal” install. I am going to just use whatever formatting the forum does to my document. If it’s not pre…

All is good until the very last step:

gvmd --verify-scanner=08b69003-5fc2-4037-a479-93b440211c73
Failed to verify scanner.

I noticed that I keep getting this error in my /opt/gvm/var/log/gvm/gvmd.log file:

manage_update_nvt_cache_osp: failed to connect to /opt/gvm/var/run/ospd.sock

and actually file /opt/gvm/var/run/ospd.sock is not present.
Can you please help me fix this?

Thanks and best regards

If /opt/gvm/var/run/ospd.sock is not available ospd-openvas is not running or the user running gvmd has no permissions to access the unix socket.

The linked guide uses end-of-life versions of the GVM components. We provide a source build documentation for Debian bases systems at https://greenbone.github.io/docs/
