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

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
