avastvpsupdate.pl problem

I’m trying to update avast using ./avastvpsupdate.pl on rhel 4. I receive an error:
Can’t access host: files.avast.com
I’m running as root and DNS/Internet access are working. What am I missing? Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions, Dave.

I’m receiving the same error.
It’s not perl module problem…
But I can reach avast website by the browser ::slight_smile:

After doing this: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=22466.msg189355#msg189355
Still cannot update: Can’t access host: files.avast.com

tech@Delta:~$ su
Password:
root@Delta:/home/tech# /usr/bin/avastvpsupdate.pl
Can't access host: files.avast.com
root@Delta:/home/tech#

??? ::slight_smile:

does this command work?
wget files.avast.com/files/latest/400.vps

Worked like a charm 8)
