Openvas-sanner errors

Hi, I can perform a scan with greenbone but there are no results.
openvas-scanner is not listening on port 9391 and there are a couple of critical errors in the openvas-setup output. They are:

] Starting openvassd

(openvassd:3998): lib kb_redis-CRITICAL **: 13:02:31.215: get_redis_ctx: redis connection error: No such file or directory

(openvassd:3998): lib kb_redis-CRITICAL **: 13:02:31.215: redis_new: cannot access redis at ‘/var/run/redis-openvas/redis-server.sock’

(openvassd:3998): lib kb_redis-CRITICAL **: 13:02:31.215: get_redis_ctx: redis connection error: No such file or directory
[>] Migrating openvassd
[>] Rebuilding openvassd
[>] Stopping openvassd
openvassd: no process found

I don’t know if get_redis_ctx is a file or directory and what the fix is. I want to fix this and use the scanner in greenbone.

Your errors are likely caused by a redis misconfiguration. Please take a look at

for hints regarding the setup.
