Today I downloaded 2.2.2a and tried to install it. It appeared that
everything compiled correctly except the nessus-plugins.
When I ran make install I get information about various directories with
"Nothing to be done for 'all'." At the bottom it says:
test -d /usr/local/lib/nessus || ./install-sh -c -d -m 755 \
/usr/local/lib/nessus
test -d /usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins || ./install-sh -c -d -m 755 \
/usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins
for scripts in scripts/*.nasl; do \
./install-sh -c -o root -m 444 $scripts \
/usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins; \
done
Oops !.This means all those 5000 odd nasl scripts are being copied to
your
Nessus plugin diectory.So nothing to worry.It will take atleast 20 minutes for
all those scripts to be placed at your nessus plugins directory.So you should
not interupt it using Ctrl-C.
Here it just hangs and will not continue without a Ctrl-C.
The system then responds with "make: *** [install-nasl] Error 208.
It means not hanging.it is just doing it job.You can check this,by opening
yet
another session and execute "who" command again and again.Since the number
of scripts are above 5000,it needs more time.
I've rechecked all the installation steps and things like PATH and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and all look correct.
I'm using --disable-gtk for the nessus-core.
This has nothing to do with your problem.
I tried running nessusd -D and it worked. I connected using NessusWX and was
able to connect and choose plugins.
I was able to run the registration for the free week old plugins list.
However, there were no plugins for any port scanners
available and the list of plugins was only about 1580 instead of the over 2000
I had with nessus 2.0.9.
Yes,I can bet you that all plugins and scripts will not be installed bez,you
have
interrupted with Ctrl-C.So it's better to make clean and execute make
install.
This time,you should wait till all plugins are installed.Otherwise,no one
can help
you
