Man, we don't give these guys a break do we?    I just check Jesper's site once a week and see if he has had time to roll new rpm's.  But, now with the latest server-manager panel, It should download and warn me when I have new updates.

Jesper and/or Stephen a one on us.

Thanks for the great work.

.. thats why I just post a heads up here and wait patiently for these demigods of the SME world to deliver their ambrosia to the great unwashed masses

Last thing I want to do is hassle anyone.

I 'doff my chappeau' to all concerned

I have used the install script and it is great the only issue I found is that the script is referencing verion 0.85.1, but the primary d/l site only have 0.85.

The primary d/l site is contribs.org, but when you look at the secondary server, that is sme.swerts-knudsen.com it does have the updated rpms.  I simply swaped the Primary and Secondary in the script and d/ls the latest version.

Sweet.

I have tried to upload to contribs.org but the FTP deamon doesn't seem to work properly. This means that you all wont be autoupdated as contribs.org is primary site for updates.

Hold you horses and this should be corrected (I hope) - I do not feel like using my private site as primary with the 1-2000 users all the time for Spam and Virus.

Rgds,
Jesper

Knuddi,

Mate, I am sorry I didn't mean to flood your bandwith, it was just that when I ran your script and found that it didn't download clam-av and did the investigation, I saw it didn't have that version.  So I installed the version on contribs.org but when it finished it said that the version was out of date.

Again sorry if I have caused you any grief.

[Knuddi]

no worries - the manual installs are all right but the sudden automatic updates they eat

Still no response from staff@contribs.org regarding my FTP account problems

I also had a problem uploading after the switch to ruffdogs hosting.
I emailed staff and got no reply, but I did notice that ftp uploads are working again now, so try again.

See the post here that says they were looking at it so I assume all is fixed now

Ray,

I wish it did - I can login but it just sits when doing a simple "ls" or similar command.

[Knuddi]

My FTP account now works again and 0.85.1 has been uploaded - you should either get auto updated or warned real soon now

[psoren]

Hmm... there seem to be a problem, i get this message when i try to upgrade:

error: failed dependencies:
        clamav-es >= 0.8 is needed by sme-antivirus-1.4.1-1
        clamav-es-libs >= 0.8 is needed by sme-antivirus-1.4.1-1

Can those be found somewhere else?

Per

[Knuddi]

That is very odd - which version of clam were/are you running now before the upgrade attempt?

[psoren]

[root@perserver root]# rpm -qa | grep clam
clamav-es-0.85-es01
clamav-es-libs-0.85-es01

But it also happened on a fresh install to a freind of mine. It looks like the files just doesn't get downloaded. They don't appear in /root/antivirus_install where the script puts it all.

[Knuddi]

And you did go and get the latest script? The install script changes every time a new version of any included module/RPM is changed so _always_ make sure to get the latest with:

[root@e-smith]# wget -N http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/downloads/AntiVirus/antivirus_install.sh

[root@e-smith]# sh antivirus_install.sh

DUHH!! i am so emberrased, sorry to waste your time. I forgot -N
