Hi everybody,
Iām having issues with my OpenVAS9 machine running on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS:
the database is preventing the scanner from starting, as you can see below:
ā openvas-scanner.service - LSB: remote network security auditor - scanner
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/openvas-scanner; generated)
Active: failed (Result: timeout) since Tue 2018-08-28 14:08:15 UTC; 4min

signal=TERM)

I've already tried the solutions proposed by Christian Fischer in an
identical situation but it didn't change anything.
-This is probably the known issue where redis is blocking / doesn't
-accept any connections anymore. Make sure that you have commented out all:
-save xyz
-statements in your redis.conf, delete the dump.rdb of redis and then
-restart redis.
-There are quite a lot posts here at the channel or at the mailinglists
-about that where updating redis like explained above helped.
-Regards"
Before this failure the scanner worked well for a couple of months. I'm not
able to bring the 'openvas-scanner' back up at all. Could someone point me
in the right direction to resolving the issue?
Thank you so much
Davide
