Hello everyone. I followed the steps on this webpage while only including certain packages that are detailed in the next paragraph. The image I am building is doing everything correct; however, I ran into an issue which I was not before. The error is like so:
Job for ospd-openvas.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status ospd-openvas.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
The libraries I have installed are on Ubuntu 20.04:
gvm_libs: 20.8.0
openvas_scanner: 20.8.0
ospd: 20.8.1
ospd_openvas: 20.8.0
I am new to this and trying to find the logs but do not know where they are for ospd-openvas. Would appreciate any help anyone can give. Thanks!
Hi, if you followed all the steps listed in your provided link, you should find the logs under “/opt/gvm/var/log”
It would be really helpful, if you could add the output from the above mentioned commands to this topic:
Here are my logs for systemctl status ospd-openvas.service:

Seems like there is a permissions issue with python that I will have to look into. I did run my script as root so that is probably why it is having problems. I’ll check this out.
