2.4. Preparing to run
How to edit the .ini file and a path to the directory
for temporary files. Customizing the software for various
needs.
2.4.1. Editing the .ini file
The initialization file
AvpUnix.ini
contains information that is essential for
your program’s correct performance and may be found in one of the
following directories:
1.
~/.AVP
(a user directory. For example,
/root/.AVP
or
/home/user1/.AVP)
2.
/usr/local/share/AVP/etc
3.
/etc/AVP
#"
When started, the program searches for the file
AvpUnix.ini
in the
directories listed above one after another. If the file is not detected
there, the program begins to look for it in the current directory!
If required, you may edit the file (for details of the INI file see Appendix B).
The initialization file must be edited in one of the following cases:
•
If you copied your virus-definition databases to a separate
directory, you must specify a new path to these files in the
BasePath
line of your
AvpUnix.ini
. Otherwise, when started your
Scanner will not find those databases and will not be able to
detect a virus, even if you have any!
•
If you changed the name of your .set file (i.e. settings file of your
virus-definition databases), you must specify its new name in the
SetFile
line of your
AvpUnix.ini
. Otherwise when started the
Scanner and the Daemon will not load its virus-definition
databases and will not be able to detect a virus, even if you have
any!
