Is Nikto in your path? If not, this is more than likely your problem.

Subject: nikto plugin


For some reason, I cannot get the nikto plugin to run properly and give
me 
output.  I can manually run 'nikto.pl -host xxx' from the command line,
and 
it works perfectly.  However, when running a nessus scan of that same
host, 
the nikto plugin does run (according to the log file), but it exists
after 
something like .020 seconds, and never gives me any output.  Is anyone
else 
having problems with this?

I'm using the GUI, have the Nikto checked under CGI plugins, and have
force 
full (generic) scan checked under preferences.  I've tried with/without
that 
option checked, tried scanning hostname and IP, and tried using built-in
TCP 
scanner and nmap.  However, it always acts the same.

Any ideas what the problem is?  Can anyone even suggest some way to get
more 
information about why it's failing?

Thanks.
