avastupdate problem

[latifa]

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?

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

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.
