Hi guys:
I finished install openvas, gsa and gvm, here is the list:
gvmd-8.0.0-6928.el7.art.x86_64
openvas-smb-1.0.5-6923.el7.art.x86_64
openvas-scanner-6.0.0-6930.el7.art.x86_64
gvmd-8.0.0-6928.el7.art.x86_64
greenbone-security-assistant-8.0.0-6932.el7.art.x86_64
greenbone-vulnerability-manager-10.0.0-6947.el7.art.noarch

And already started redis-server listening on /var/run/redis/redis.sock, now I can start both gvmd.service and gsad.service but failed to start openvas-scanner by following error:
openvas-scanner.service - OpenVAS Scanner
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/openvas-scanner.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

Then I can access to web gui by port 9392, but when I try to login, it occur a error said that “GMP Service is down”

How to fix these?
thanks

Hi biubiugo,
Have you other logs in /var/log/openvas/ ?

The following topic and the “Common issues” mentioned there might help as well:

Hi Mogimbo
There doen’t have any file in the directory “/var/log/openvas/”
But there already have configuration in openvassd.conf like following text:
# Log file (or ‘syslog’) :
logfile = /var/log/openvas/openvassd.log
thx

@biubiugo Could you please elaborate why the following post was deleted by you?

openvassd: error while loading shared libraries: libgcrypt.so.20: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This could be exactly one issue why the service isn’t starting and should be reported to the maintainer of your used package repository.

Hi cfi
At first this file “/libgcrypt.so.20” is locate at “/opt/atomicorp/atomic/root/usr/lib64/libgcrypt.so.20”, then I make a link to “/usr/lib64/libgcrypt.so.20” to fix this error.
But now have a new error “openvassd: error while loading shared libraries: libopenvas_nasl.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”

Those are packaging issues with your used packages. Such issues are out of scope of this forums because Greenbone isn’t providing them so i’m closing this thread for now.

Please report a new issue to the maintainer of your packages at:
