[Openvas-discuss] Strange Error with OpenVas and Nikto
Hi all, i use OpenVas on my Fedora10. During a scan i've got this error: Reported by NVT Nikto (NASL wrapper) (1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.14260): Nikto could not be found in your system path. OpenVAS was unable to execute Nikto and to perform the scan you requested. Please make sure that Nikto is installed and that nikto.pl is available in the PATH variable defined for your environment. but i've installed NIKTO. What does this error mean? Can you help me to unterstand it? Have a nice day. -- Andrea Modesto Rossi Fedora Ambassador +-+ | Bello. Che gli diciamo?

Re: [Openvas-discuss] Strange Error with OpenVas and Nikto
Hello Andrea, There's a find_in_path() function in nikto.nasl which tries to find nikto.pl in $PATH. Please make sure that it is added to path.

* Andrea Modesto Rossi [ 6. Feb 2009]: Hi all, i use OpenVas on my Fedora10. During a scan i've got this error: Reported by NVT Nikto (NASL wrapper) (1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.14260): Nikto could not be found in your system path. OpenVAS was unable to execute Nikto and to perform the scan you requested. Please make sure that Nikto is installed and that nikto.pl is available in the PATH variable defined for your environment. but i've installed NIKTO. What does this error mean? My first guess would be that the Nikto executable on your system is not called nikto.pl, but nikto or something like this. The current Nikto Wrapper does not take this into consideration yet. As a workaround I would suggest either changing the command name in nikto.nasl or adding a symlink to your nikto executable called nikto.pl. Does this solve your issue?
