Atomicorp

Thanks for the tip, the newer version, is it already in the yum repo from atomic?
Following the new users steps I still got the old version and the same problem.

Ah the update is there, seems better but now I receive the following errors when clicking on the NVT feed or try to run a scan;

in /var/log/openvassmd.log:

event task:MESSAGE:2011-05-06 20h30.15 utc :8131: Status of task test (eeca7541-c924-4e12-8fde-5d2bec7042b9) has changed to Requested

Is that the right version? The atomic ones dont use /var/log/openvassmd.log

sorry must be;
/var/log/openvas/openvasmd.log
&
/var/log/openvas/openvassd.log

error is in /var/log/openvas/openvasmd.log

Ok I saw that on another box, but it ended up scanning fine.

If I click on the settings link or NVt link it gives me the following error:
{code}
Internal error: get_feed_oap:732

An internal error occurred while getting the feed list. The current list of feeds is not available. Diagnostics: Failure to connect to administrator daemon.
Also the scan says:
Stopped at 1 %

Looks like it still does not work?

edit when I try to resume the scan it says:

event auth:MESSAGE:2011-05-06 23h32.14 utc :8993: Authentication success for user admin (41200804-076c-4e56-a682-99ca5c083238)

For some reason the connection to openvas-server stops (broken pipe) and the scan stops.
Everything seems to be running?!

Might be a bug?

I have the same error / hanging situation when I run the openvasmd --sport 9391 --port 9390 -d /tmp/tasks-import.db --rebuild command.

I am pretty stuck now

If I remove all files in /var/lib/openvas/mgr and do a

touch /var/lib/openvas/mgr/tasks.db
openvasmd --backup
strace openvasmd --rebuild

it just hangs..if I strace it I get:

what version of sqlite are you running?

Hi Scott:

[mve@vps500 ~]$ rpm -qa | grep sqlite
sqlite-3.7.0.1-1.el5.art
sqlite-devel-3.7.0.1-1.el5.art
python-sqlite-1.1.7-1.2.1
sqlite-3.7.0.1-1.el5.art
[mve@vps500 ~]$ rpm -qa | grep openvas
openvas-libraries-4.0.4-1.el5.art
openvas-scanner-3.2.3-1.el5.art
openvas-cli-1.1.2-2.el5.art
openvas-1.0-0.5.el5.art
openvas-glib2-2.22.5-1.el5.art
openvas-manager-2.0.3-3.el5.art

[mve@vps500 ~]$ rpm -qa | grep green
greenbone-security-assistant-2.0.1-3.el5.art
[mve@vps500 ~]$

So its not sqlite then, unless you have some source installs on the system? I recall their being a locking problem with sqlite before 3.5 or 3.6

Hi Scott,

No source tarbal installs or whatsoever.

Allright I cleaned all configs and packages so I start new on my CentOS 5.6 64 bit box:

yum -y install openvas:

Seems that 2 things are going wrong: the tasks.db file and the administrator package.

What can i do best now after these errors?
Manually fix them by:
yum -y install openvas-administrator && touch /var/lib/openvas/mgr/tasks.db

BTW the file is there:
file /var/lib/openvas/mgr/tasks.db
/var/lib/openvas/mgr/tasks.db: SQLite database (Version 3)

It has just been created,.

Again a little bit further, openvasmd --rebuild works, user has been created etc..
Now the openvas-check tool gives:

Step 6: Checking Greenbone Security Desktop (GSD) ...
ERROR: No Greenbone Security Desktop (gsd) found or too old.
FIX: Please install Greenbone Security Desktop 1.1.0.

ERROR: Your OpenVAS-4 installation is not yet complete!

Please follow the instructions marked with FIX above and run this
script again.

I understand this package is not in the atomic repositories and I don't need it for remote web scans?
