OpenVAS - GSA does not start the application!

[raffaele]

After the recent update of the libmicrohttpd package, it's impossible to access GSA via HTTPS protocol (https://localhost:9392).
By applying the following updates we will force the usage of HTTP protocol (http://localhost:9392)
You have to open the configuration file:

Code Select Expand

sudo nano /etc/default/greenbone-security-assistant

and add the following string:

Code Select Expand

HTTP_ONLY=1

We shall also modify the init script:

Code Select Expand

sudo nano /etc/init.d/greenbone-security-assistant

by adding after:

Code Select Expand

[ "$GSA_ADDRESS" ] && DAEMONOPTS="--listen=$GSA_ADDRESS"

the following line:

Code Select Expand

[ "$HTTP_ONLY" ] && [ "$HTTP_ONLY" = "1" ] && DAEMONOPTS="$DAEMONOPTS --http-only"

now reboot services:

Code Select Expand

sudo openvas-services restart

and open your browser on http://localhost:9392

There is an error the last statement, the correct command is

sudo openvas-services restart

missing the final s
