[Openvas-discuss] Manager can\'t update/rebuild DB: databasetable is locked

[sva234@sonic.net]

 I found a solution -- funny, I submitted this a couple weeks ago to
openvas-discuss, but I don't see it in the archive.  Here is is again:

 Turns out that openvasmd requires a 'recent' sqlite version.  I'm
guessing > ver 3.5, per this URL that explains the shared cache mode
differences after v3.5:

 http://www.sqlite.org/sharedcache.html [1]

 I was installing on CentOS 5, which comes with sqlite 3.3.6-5 even with
the latest yum update.   And given the dependencies of other CentOS
packages on sqlite (like yum), I dare not mess with that.

 So I installed sqlite-3.7.3 from source into /opt/sqlite, then added the
command

 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/sqlite/lib

 to the running shell (and put it in the startup script, or add to
/etc/profile for persistence across restarts).    Then running

 openvasmd -s 9391 --rebuild

 worked just fine.

 No, I never figured out how to fix the problem.  Using OpenVAS-Client
instead.

Hi, 

  

have you managed to solve this issue? 

I encountered the same thing. I installed: openvas-libraries 3.1.0,
openvas-scanner 3.1.0 and openvas-manager 1.0.2. 

  

Thanks. 

  

Regards 

Cristian
