Setup problems with OpenVAS on GVM-11

I’m new to gvm. I had success on an old laptop with lubuntu 19.04 and openvas9. However, I had issues with the same install on a vm. I installed community edition but could never get the scanner to work. I’ve decided to go to Ubuntu 19.04 vm and gvm 11 but I can’t seem to get the web interface to work. I followed these instructions.

Can anyone help?

Hi, what is not working?
Is it the ospd-openvas stuff?

@ginovellie FYI, you are currently answering to the “communityportal@greenbone.net” E-Mail Address / notifications on the question of @falk but these replies are not ending up at the portal here.

As far as I can tell all is running

Here is the status from each service

I can never get the web interface to respond. The login page never comes up

Next i would check with “ss” where the GSA is listening to and try to do a netcat first, if you get a response of a “GET” request, i would point my browser there :wink:

I did ~$ nc -z -v 192.168.1.101 1-5000
i received replies on 22, 80, and 443

this is the error

This site can’t be reached

The webpage at https://192.168.1.101/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

ERR_SSL_KEY_USAGE_INCOMPATIBLE

this is from google chrome

i then tried internet explorer and it’s allowing me in on 443. wierd! something with chrome

but now i have the same issue with the scanner that i had with the community edition
start scan and error right away not sure how to check the error

sorry for wasting your time. i found my issue. i was using the default scanner. missed this line "And when you try to create a new test scan, remeber to change to “TEST OPENVAS Scanner”
working now
