To help determine if Nikto is even running against the target, you can edit Nikto's config.txt and enable the CLIOPTS setting and have it dump all output to a file. When it runs, anything being printed by Nikto will also be saved to this file. For example: CLIOPTS=-o /tmp/output.txt
This may help debug where exactly the problem is (calling nikto, nikto running,
output going back to nessus, etc.).

Quoting Jared Breland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
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.
