@pple7000 it should still work if there's no .conf file. If yours didn't please let me know. I tested quite a few combos of that and all worked--so there could be a bug if it didn't for you.

Also as digininja pointed out something is borked with the path in @bhatumar533 output.

@pple7000 that is just renaming the file, no code needed!

The path problem is more complex. What OS are you on?

Got the same issue here:

perl nikto.pl -h https://<target>
- Could not find a valid nikto config file. Tried: nikto.pl/nikto.conf.default /etc/nikto.conf nikto.pl/program/nikto.conf.default /home/xxxxxxxx/nikto.conf nikto.pl/nikto.conf nikto.conf

OS: Ubuntu

Installation: The repository was cloned with git clone.

I have tried to change some bits into the config file just to point nikto to the right default config file. No luck. Something is borked.

Per example, you can use this to test this issue.

Thanks!

I think using Cwd module will help resolve these errors, and it's a core module so should not be an additional installation.

please confirm?

I confirm the issue was resolved. Thanks!

Please, could you close this issue now? Apparently, I can't do it from my end. 🤦‍♀️

I get the same issue when installing via brew install nikto on mac osx.
