      Hi there,

      Yup, tried this. The AV base just isn't downloading for some reason. The base info in the general page of the antivirus package settings remain blank, whether I try the update with the AV enabled or disabled….

        AV Bases must be updated. In their absence, you do not start the AV server.

          Well, last night's ClamAV update means that it now works in 2.1 Beta…

            A bit more sense on this.

            On 2.0.1, running 'freshclam' (update the AV base) from Shell results in a couple of 'permission denied' errors on /var/db/clamav/ and /tmp so 'chmod 777' on those two directories and now it works!

            Weird. Clearly something's changed in the package…

              Reinstall the pkg and try it again.

                Nope doesn't work at all now, and the freshclam command has disappeared.

                I'll try rebuilding the box from scratch and trying again…

                  Hit the "X" to remove the package, then install it again, rather than using the 'pkg' button.

                  Or to be more thorough:
                  1. Hit the X to delete the pkg
                  2. From the shell: pkg_delete -f havp* clamav*
                  3. Reinstall the pkg from the GUI

                    OK, well unfortunately I had blown away the firewall before you posted your message, but on a new install at least it works now, so whatever has been done has fixed it. :)

                    Thanks

                      @jimp:

                      Reinstall the pkg and try it again.

                      In the latest package there is a problem with the database specified for the "US" as it points to the wrong domain, I am not even sure where this came from. This is causing errors in the updates of the database.

                      /usr/local/pkg/havp.inc

                      line 889 case 'us': $conf[] = "DatabaseMirror clamav.catt.com"; break;        # united states

                      The line should be:

                      line 889 case 'us': $conf[] = "DatabaseMirror db.us.clamav.net"; break;        # united states
