redis-server doesn't listen on /tmp/redis.sock by default. Try adding
the line `unixsocket /tmp/redis.sock` to your redis.conf and running
`/etc/init.d/redis-server restart`?

Hi,

your default redis installation only listens on the tcp port, not the UNIX Socket.

From openvas-scanner-5.0.4/doc/redis_config.txt:
OpenVAS can currently only access redis via a unix socket. This choice has been
made for the sake of speed and security. No authentication is supported yet, we
rely on filesystem permissions to protect the KBs.

The path to the unix socket is '/tmp/redis.sock' by default, and can be changed
using the 'kb_location' parameter.

On the redis side, use the following directives:

port 0 # prevent redis from listening on a TCP socket
unixsocket /tmp/redis.sock
unixsocketperm 700
timeout 0

There is also a example config shipped with OpenVAS that you can
use.
