Could not connect to Scanner

Issue: The installation places the ospd.sock file at a different location than the expected /opt/gvm/var/run/ospd.sock

Resolution is to update the location as follows

1. gvmd –get-scanners
2. gvmd –modify-scanner=08b69003-5fc2-4037-a479-93b440211c73 –scanner-host=/opt/gvm/var/run/ospd.sock

The scanner UUID is the value returned by the gvmd –get-scanners response for the Openvas default scanner

as per

* 08b69003-5fc2-4037-a479-93b440211c73 OpenVAS /opt/gvm/var/run/ospd.sock 0 OpenVAS Default

* check the /var/lib/gvm folder for a feed-status.lock file. If this exists then no feed updates will happen. Remove file and re-run the syncs again
