Mirror not updated for 6 days

Small office administration version 1.3.3.112
Endpoint protection suite version 8.0.1609

Virus definitions version 170216-0

Generally I receive 1 or 2 definition updates per day. Currently 6 days without an update. No identifiable problems with my setup, and I suspect a problem with Avast! update servers. Can you please advise how this can be resolved?

Hi, known issue, devs are working on it.

Hi,

Do you have an estimate as to when this will be resolved as my organisation is experiencing the exact same issue. Alternatively until the issue is resolved, is there a way to manually download the definitions and update the mirror folder?

Thanks.

Same here,
but thank god for this, at least we dodged this bullet for now:

https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=197572.0

True that. ;D

Still the same issue, virsig-defs from 16/2/17. Any new information about this issue? When will it work again correctly? This cannot be true - this problem is known and the Avast devs cannot fix it in 24 hours…

Avast Any status on this? This is highly irregular.

Exactly the same here.
Plus updating clients from mirror or from the internet is the same:
Engine and definitions: Already up to date (current version 170216-0)
Program: Already up to date (current version 8.0.1609)

Please keep us updated :-\

The problem has been fixed:

Current versions in mirror:

avast! Endpoint Protection: 8.0.1609 (Oct 27, 2016)

Virus database: 170223-0 (Feb 23, 2017)

We concur, problem solved on our side too.
Cheers :slight_smile:

yes, excellent thank you!

seems to be fixed, sites reporting 17022300-0

Hi,

My mirror is still not updating.

Most recent files from the mirror directory are dated from fev 16.

Here is the end of the mirror log file;

Looks like the service cannot get to download the “servers.def”…

Weird thing is that on that server, the “client portion of AVAST”, seems to be receiving its update properly. But since the “mirror” is not updating, my clients are not receiving theirs…

Please help!

Thanks!

If iirc 0x0000274D is a postgreSQL error.

Hi,
we had same problem month ago.
Avast EPS program itself blocked http comunication, even program GUI was frozen and not responding → mirror cannot download definitions.
Only https communication was working.

This same lines in log = 10 tries for download and then:
27.02.2017 05:38:32.000 1488191912 (null) Error:Cannot connect to unknown (unknown:80).
27.02.2017 05:38:32.000 1488191912 (null) Return code: 0x20000004 [Cannot connect to unknown (unknown:80).]
27.02.2017 05:38:32.000 1488191912 (null) Stopped: 27.02.2017, 05:38:32

It sorted itself during maintenance, after server was restarted.

These lines suggest that the mirror server is trying to download the updates through a Proxy server.

Open AEA > File > Settings > Mirror Proxy and make sure to select “Direct connection (no proxy)”.
Then attempt to download the mirror updates by running “C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Enterprise Administration\mirror\mirror.exe”.

If you receive the same error, please run the below commands in CMD with elevated access and let us know what is the result:

netsh
winhttp
show proxy

The hex 0x0000274D converts to the decimal 10061 which is a standard windows net error code and it means: “No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it”.

You can find the error meanings by running the following in CMD: net helpmsg ERROR_NUM e.g. net helpmsg 10061 :wink:
