Source install - gsad gsa URL not found

Building from Source and Advanced Topics
1

Following instructions for the install from source from here : Building 22.4 from Source - Greenbone Community Documentation

gsad installed in /usr/local/sbin/gsad and starting correctly from systemd
gsa installed under /usr/local/share/gvm/gsad/web/

But browsing to http://127.0.0.1:9392/ gives a “URL not found” from gsad

Increasing the logging in gsad give little hint :

It looks like gsad is looking for index.html in /usr/local/share/gvm/gsad/web/ where gsa installs it under /usr/local/share/gvm/gsad/web/public

Any idea how to adress this issue ?

Hi,

I am sorry but using the source build guide installs GSA into /usr/local/shar/gvm/gsad/web/ as desired.

export GSA_VERSION=23.0.0
export SOURCE_DIR=/tmp
curl -f -L https://github.com/greenbone/gsa/releases/download/v$GSA_VERSION/gsa-dist-$GSA_VERSION.tar.gz -o $SOURCE_DIR/gsa-$GSA_VERSION.tar.gz
mkdir -p $SOURCE_DIR/gsa-$GSA_VERSION
tar -C $SOURCE_DIR/gsa-$GSA_VERSION -xvzf $SOURCE_DIR/gsa-$GSA_VERSION.tar.gz
ls gsa-$GSA_VERSION

shows

img  index.html  locales  robots.txt  static

and no public directory.

Afterwards these content gets copied to /usr/local/shar/gvm/gsad/web/ via

sudo cp -rv $SOURCE_DIR/gsa-$GSA_VERSION/* $INSTALL_PREFIX/share/gvm/gsad/web/
