All Scans Interrupted at 0%

I’ve built and installed Greenbone from source following this guide and got everything up and running but when I try to run a scan, it always fails as interrupted at 0%. Looking at the log files in /opt/gvm/var/log/gvm the only messages I can see are:

Anyone got any idea what the issue might be?

Thanks

This should be the cause of your problem. I am really sure your service file is wrongly configured. You should check the --lock-file-dir parameter is pointing to a writable directory.

And btw. you should follow our new guide at Greenbone Community Edition - Documentation - Redirect to latest... If something doesn’t work when following this guide it is much easier to find the culprit.

Perfect, had the --lock-file-dir set to /var/run rather than /opt/gvm/var/run for some reason. Thanks
