Bug#863240: openvas-scanner gets in trouble with openvas-check-setup

[Hans-J. Ullrich]

Package: openvas-scanner
Version: 5.0.7-3
Followup-For: Bug #863240

Ok, here is another workaround:

1. create a new openvassd.conf with this command as root:
openvassd -s > /etc/openvas/openvassd.conf

2. edit /etc/redis/redis.conf and uncomment the following lines:
unixsocket /var/run/redis/redis.sock
unixsocketperm 700

3. stop and start the following processes:
openvas-scanner
openvas-manager 
redis-server

4. Run openvas-check-setup again

Note: I believe, the line "unixsocket /var/run/redis/redis.sock" might be called
"unixsocket /var/run/redis/redis.sock". Is this maybe a typo?

This solution works fine for me.

Any feedback is welcomne.

Best regards

Hans
