Error updating ClamWin 0.90 virus definitions

Submitted by flabbah on February 28, 2007 - 3:07am

When I select Tools -> Download Virus Database Update, I get the following

ClamAV update process started at Tue Feb 27 23:57:33 2007

LibClamAV Error: Database Directory: ..\..\..\Data\db not locked

I wasn't sure how serious the LibClamAV error was. I did not get that when using 0.88.7.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

But I googled and some linux users have the same issue, so other people have it too.

Clamwin 0.9 \Data\db not locked

I have the same error. Question is: is Clamwin functioning OK or not if I run it?

Error

i check the report, there no problem in it.

Try the ini

Try copying the INI file from Other\ClamWinPortableSource to the ClamWinPortable directory and see if that makes any difference. If it does, then it looks like the updater doesn't support relative paths anymore (which kills Live mode). If it doesn't, then me thinks there is an issue with ClamAV (since Linux users are also reporting this).

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Error Stops

John,

Copying the INI file from Other\ClamWinPortableSource to the ClamWinPortable directory seems to stop the error. No idea what other effects it might have.

Things have got to get better, they can't get worse, or can they?

sorta works

Did the copying thing, still getting

what's the exact location?

i tried to add the ini file to the clamwinportable directory, but it doesn't fix it? can you explain the exact locations, which folder in the clamwinportable?

a human never fails but stop trying...

Just copy

the "ClamWinPortable.ini" from
/PortableApps/ClamWinPortable/Other/ClamWinPortableSource
to
/PortableApps/ClamWinPortable/
That should work.

Thank you

Hello Simeon

Thank you for the information it worked for me as well. May I ask is this a mistake with the installation of the portable version or is it a problem with ClamAV.

I think its Clamwin

As John said here,its either Clamwin dropping relative path support or something else. I googled around and Linux users had the same issue.
