[clamav-users] How to download and update main.cvd and daily.cvd manually AND update mirrors

Fri Dec 15 18:14:36 UTC 2017

Hello Tom M,

1) I did
sudo mv /var/lib/clamav/mirrors.dat /home/user
sudo /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam stop
sudo freshclam
ClamAV update process started at Fri Dec 15 19:45:53 2017
main.cvd is up to date (version: 58, sigs: 4566249, f-level: 60, builder:
sigmgr)
WARNING: getpatch: Can't download daily-24011.cdiff from database.clamav.net
WARNING: getpatch: Can't download daily-24011.cdiff from database.clamav.net
WARNING: getpatch: Can't download daily-24011.cdiff from database.clamav.net
WARNING: getpatch: Can't download daily-24011.cdiff from database.clamav.net
ERROR: getpatch: Can't download daily-24011.cdiff from database.clamav.net
WARNING: Incremental update failed, trying to download daily.cvd
Downloading daily.cvd [100%]
WARNING: Mirror 193.92.150.194 is not synchronized.
Giving up on database.clamav.net...
Update failed. Your network may be down or none of the mirrors listed in
/etc/clamav/freshclam.conf is working. Check
http://www.clamav.net/doc/mirrors-faq.html for possible reasons.

2) Then I did:
sudo nano /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf
# and in freshclam.conf changed "DatabaseMirror db.local.clamav.net" to
"DatabaseMirror db.bg.clamav.net" (I am from Bulgaria)
# It worked! I'll try to look it out in the Archives. But even if it was
there, I wouldn't know due to lack of knowledge and experience. I guess
"WARNING: Mirror 193.92.150.194 is not synchronized." means that freshclam
cannot find my country database.
Thanks again Tom M. You are the best!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Best regards,
George
