I realize this has been asked...and asked...and...but enquiring minds want to 
know...
OpenVAS v7 install via atomic repo  includes in the pre-built scan configs 
components arachni and wapiti (and of course others)
I am getting this when I run a scan using "Full and very deep ultimate" config:

Vulnerability Detection Result:
arachni report filename is empty. that could mean that
wrong version of arachni is used or tmp dir is not accessible.
In short: check installation of arachni and OpenVAS

I found this which was posted 2/22/2013 by Tasos Laskos:

I'm sorry, that OpenVAS plugin was written a long time ago by a third-party and 
has been incompatible with Arachni for a long time.

It's not supported by the Arachni project nor OpenVAS and from what I remember 
it used to parse the text report using regular expressions (which is a really 
unreliable way to extract the necessary information) so you're actually better 
off being unable to use it.
Should I disable the arachni NASL wrapper?

I also get this:
Vulnerability Detection Result:
wapiti report filename is empty. that could mean that
wrong version of wapiti is used or tmp dir is not accessible.
Make sure to have wapiti 2.x as wapiti 1.x is not supported.
In short: check installation of wapiti and OpenVAS

Should this work?  Please don't blast me for asking something which has been 
gone over before...
Thanks in advance for your help!
