nikto plugin

Subject: nikto plugin
Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2005 16:33:55 -0600
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.
