Hi,
I tried too install GVM 21.04 with this tutorial. The problem is that during the installation it is not possible to start gvmd service (with “systemctl status gvmd”).

The error in /var/log/gvm/gvmd.log is:

LINE 1: SELECT value FROM public.meta WHERE name = 'database_version…
^
(7)
md manage:WARNING:2022-08-25 09h25.40 utc:12439: sql_exec_internal: SQL: SELECT value FROM public.meta WHERE name = ‘database_version’;

md manage:WARNING:2022-08-25 09h25.40 utc:12439: init_manage_create_functions: failed to create functions

I search the solution but I don’t find anything that helping me…

If you want other information, ask me and I’ll find it.

Thank you for you help,

Nicolas

Hi,

Hmm i think the tutorial is using the wrong git url´s, i would ensure you checked out the desired version.
Stable is now 22.04.

Okay, do you think I have to restart from scratch to install 22.04 ?
