Hi everybody,
I have problem to download VPS file
in the avastvpsupdate.conf file I have the following URL:
VpsLocation=http://files.avast.com/files/latest/
This URL doesn’t work, I tested it manually. What’s the good URL please?
latifa
Edit: incorrect link removed.
It’s correct URL.
DavidR, we’re talking avast for Linux here… 
latifa, this is indeed a correct URL - but it’s a folder URL, not the file itself. The file is called 400.vps
Oops thanks, using the Show unread posts since last visit and misssed that.
Hello everybody,
this is the configuration in my avastvpsupdate.conf :
We have a serv ::)er proxy 192.168.1.1 at the port 80.
Enable/disable VPS file updating
Set 0 to disable this
Update=1
Specify location, where a new VPS file is stored.
The URL must be absolute and terminated by “/” delimiter.
NOTE: only HTTP protocol is supported now!
VpsLocation=http://files.avast.com/files/latest/
Specify PROXY server settings
Enable/disable proxy connection
0 - don’t use proxy
2 - use HTTP proxy
NetAcc=2
proxy address
NetIP=192.168.1.1
proxy port
NetPort=80
proxy login username
NetUser=
proxy login password
NetPwd=
I also checked /usr/bin/avastvpsupdat.pl file and I set valuses as follows:
my $updateconfig = {
-update => “1”,
-vpslocation => “http://files.avast.com/files/latest/”,
-netacc => “2”,
-netip => “192.168.1.1”,
-netport => “80”,
-netuser => “”,
-netpwd => “”,
};
then I trayed to update manually :
[root@RedHat root]# /etc/cron.daily/avastvpsupdate.pl
error: cannot download the latest VPS MD5 file
what do you think can be the problem ?
what proxy server do you use?
we are using proxy integrated into the firewall Arkoon. We never have problem in updats.
