HAVP service doesn't start

dvserg

Try to use only one (HAVP or Dansguardian), but not both. Unused package delete. Probably AV scaner have conflict.

Guest

I removed dansguardian …no difference..havp service doesn't start. in boot time this message appears: group havp not found.

dvserg

You made the setting HAVP?

Guest

Yes,
I set standard proxy mode on LAN interface.
in boot time "pw: unknown group havp" message appears.
It seems that when database is updated, service starts.

Try to (1)Save button click on settings page (2)Start service on First page (3)Search syslog for Havp/clamd messages.

The first start of HAVP unavailable because AV bases update is occurs. Maybe update take a long time :(

Guest

yes, but my problem is update failure at first time

Seems to be related to /var/log/ permissions.
I don't known why, but after upgrade to 2.1, i found that my /var/log has permissions "drwxrwxr– 8 root wheel 1024 Dec 5 10:14 log"
It is clear that all process with different uuid and ggid of root and wheel cannot go through /var/log and get access to their logs files.
As partial solution i typed:

chmod a+x /var/log

and now havp process is starting to work... i still have trouble with clamav, but it is another story and i am still investigating

Guest

It works now in standard and parent mode. my problem was slow download process at update time.
