Openvas Installation Errors

Unread post by rhyse »

Hi

I am trying to install openvas using the instructions provided here http://openvas.org/install-packages-v7.html on CentOS 7 (and have tried 6.5) clean minimal installs (did yum update etc)

However I am receiving the following (Excerpt below)

Package wmi is obsoleted by openvas-smb, but obsoleting package does not provide for requirements
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: openvas-1.0-15.el6.art.noarch (atomic)

There seems to be a dependency "loop" ?

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

Fallout from work on getting openvas 8 working on EL6. Right now you can only use OV-8 on el7 or Fedora 19+

Hi

So I got the following error when running my first scan

warning: Cannot connect to KB at '/tmp/redis.sock': Connection refused'

did the following to resolve

yum install redis
echo "unixsocket /tmp/redis.sock" >> /etc/redis.conf
systemctl redis restart

Thanks
