If you’re using the open-source (free) version, you’ll likely need to troubleshoot the issue on your own. With the commercial version, however, you can get support from Greenbone by submitting a ticket. This is one of those basic things that’s generally understood—when using the open-source version, configuration and problem-solving are typically up to the user.
