[clamav-users] Need help to use a local server for updating

[Dennis Peterson]

The documentation in freshclam.conf for private mirrors says:

# This option allows you to easily point freshclam to private mirrors.
# If PrivateMirror is set, freshclam does not attempt to use DNS
# to determine whether its databases are out-of-date, instead it will
# use the If-Modified-Since request or directly check the headers of the
# remote database files. For each database, freshclam first attempts
# to download the CLD file. If that fails, it tries to download the
# CVD file. This option overrides DatabaseMirror, DNSDatabaseInfo
# and ScriptedUpdates. It can be used multiple times to provide
# fall-back mirrors.
# Default: disabled
#PrivateMirror mirror1.mynetwork.com
#PrivateMirror mirror2.mynetwork.com

Note that there is no "http://" protocol in the server name.

Your freshclam.conf says:

On my client, I've changed my freesclam.conf with :DatabaseMirror  http://IP/my_repository

You are using DatabaseMirror, not PrivateMirror. Something we're sure of is wrong.
