Launch nikto scanner. 'No web server found'

Question

---

Launching nikto scanner:

perl ./nikto.pl -h http://myserver_ip:port/

Message:

- Nikto v2.1.5
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ No web server found on myserver_ip:port
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 0 host(s) tested

But web application http://myserver_ip:port/ works fine through browser

What am I doing wrong?

using:

• Strawberry Perl 5.22.0.1-32bit;
• Nikto v2.1.5

Answer 1

Instead of:

perl ./nikto.pl -h http://myserver_ip:port/

Need to run:

nikto.bat -h http://myserver_ip:port/

from the directory with nikto
