Everything seems fine except “systemctl start gvmd” fails with the error “pidfile_create: failed to open pidfile: Permission denied”
Everything built and installed as gvm user in /opt/gvm.
I have tried giving root write access to /opt/gvm/var/run/ (where the pid file I assume should be created) but this doesn’t seem to make any difference. I have bumped up the log levels to 128 but no other useful error shows up. Is there a way to tell where it is trying to create the pid file ?
