I successfully uploaded an XML-nmap-output file my dradis CE project. The hosts showed up as nodes under plugin.output with correct nmap information. I moved them to my “hosts” Folder/node. Then I uploaded a different XML-nmap-output file (same nmap settings -oX) to the same dradis CE project via Upload Manager. The upload seems to be sucessfull, no error messages. But no nodes are created anywhere in the project.

However, the group1.xml file now appears in the “uploaded files”-Folder, what is not intended. How can that be solved? ``` oot@kali:/usr/lib/dradis# bundle exec rake resque:work rake aborted!

Update: I could reproduce the problem: After uploading another nmap output file with new, different hosts these new and also the old hosts from the second scan reappear in the “plugin.output” folder. Then i start moving these hosts to my “hosts” node/folder. Again after moving the second host, all the others seem to disappear from the “plugin.output” folder. it seems to be empty. But I noticed, the hosts are still accessible via their node number (e.g. nodes/32) How can this behaviour be prevented? ---

Hi @lurchx. I’m seeing a bunch of issues here, so let’s tackle them one-by-one. 1. First, you mentioned uploading an nmap file and no nodes appearing. Is it possible to send us over a copy of that file so we can test it locally? 2. About the Redis error, you need to have a running instance of the redis-server on your machine to get the resque service working. For more info, check the guide here: [https://redis.io/docs/getting-started/](https://redis.io/topics/quickstart). 3. Lastly, you mentioned nodes disappearing when moved. Could it be related to this: [Fix subnodes disappearing when moved by aapomm · Pull Request #460 · dradis/dradis-ce · GitHub](https://github.com/dradis/dradis-ce/pull/460)? Try applying the patch on your instance and restart the server and see if it worked for you. Keep us posted!
