I would like to try Avast on a Linux server running Ubuntu 6.10. On filling out my details to request a demo license I get the following response:
avast! for Linux DEMO License request
Somethig wrong: d
Warning: mysql_connect(): Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘gen’ () in D:\WWWRoot\classes\connections\linux.php on line
Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘gen’ ()
I have tried on multiple occasions over many days - please advise me on what I should do.
I downloaded the demo license but still had problems:
I installed the avast! server for Linux - version 2.0.0
using the ./mkinstall.sh:

To install ‘avast!4’ now, press ENTER.
To cancel the installation at any time, press Control-C.
[b]avast! engine library ‘libavastengine-4.so.6’ is not installed!
Please download ‘libavastengine-4.x.x-x.tar.gz’ package
and install it first![/b]

?? But it is installed!
Try re-installing it:
To install ‘libavastengine-4.so.7.0.0’ library now, press ENTER.
To cancel the installation at any time, press Control-C.
