avg will not work anymore [Solved]

[benscha]

Hi Guys

my avg makes me some headache... i can't start the avg anymore

Code: Select all

root@copfilter:/usr/local/bin # ./copfilter_startavgscan
Starte avgscand <BR>Starting avgd (recovering)/opt/avg/av/etc/init.d/functions.common: line 175: /bin/rm: Argument list too long
 failed.
warte 1 Sekunde(n) <BR>
<font color='#993333'><b>FAILED</b></font><br />
avgscand laeuft nicht <BR>

i also tried to remove and reinstall all the additional Virusscanners with no success to bring up avg again.

this is the code of the functions.common around the line 175

Code: Select all

   
173    #avgd is dead, clean mess (old pid and pipe files), before run
174        echo -n " (recovering)"
175        rm -f $AVG_RUN_DIR/*
176      fi

does anyboby have an idea whats wrong with my avg?

thx for any hints!

Hi,

very strange..

Have a try with backup your file and replace the content of /opt/avg/av/etc/init.d/functions.common

with:

Code: Select all

# and defines generic init functions which can be overriden by distro-specific functions.

Hi Bensha,

Sorry, I've not many time this week to have a deep look !

Have a try with this : back up your opt/avg/ folder and replace it with this:
http://shelby.eurowireless.de/Fix/avg.tar.gz

regards.
