Installed on Centos 63. Runs ok from command line but when I run openvas the section of the report from Arachni says
"arachni report filename is empty. that could mean that wrong version of arachni is used or tmp dir is not accessible.
In short: check installation of arachni and OpenVAS"

I’m running arachnid 0.4.1.3 .
Could not find any reference online regarding what tmp dir it is talking about. Any thoughts? I have asked openvas but no response. Though this does not seem like an uncommon problem.

    Installed arachni on Centos 63.
    Runs fine from command line. If I run it as part of openvas , the openvas report says...

    I'm sorry, that OpenVAS plugin was written a long time ago by a third-party and has been incompatible with Arachni for a long time.

    It's not supported by the Arachni project nor OpenVAS and from what I remember it used to parse the text report using regular expressions (which is a really unreliable way to extract the necessary information) so you're actually better off being unable to use it.
