Issue/Introduction

You need to run Java Live Update manually on a Linux system running Symantec Protection Engine.

"navdefupdater.NavDefInstaller: Unable to get destination directory"

Cause

The command line syntax is probably incorrect as it does not include the temporary definitions storage location.

Resolution

1. Create a folder “/opt/SYMCScan/bin/definitions/AntiVirus/tmpIncoming”
2. Change owner: “chown root:avdefs /opt/SYMCScan/bin/definitions/AntiVirus/tmpIncoming”
3. Change permissions: “chmod 770 /opt/SYMCScan/bin/definitions/AntiVirus/tmpIncoming”
4. Run the Java Live Update command:
   java -cp "/opt/Symantec/LiveUpdate/jlu.jar:/opt/SYMCScan/bin/definitions/AntiVirus/tmpIncoming" com.symantec.liveupdate.LiveUpdate -c /opt/SYMCScan/bin/liveupdate.conf -d [ -p spe av Definitions for x86-linux -v 7.0 -l SymAllLanguages ]
5. Copy the definition files from tmpIncoming to VirusDefs, overwriting destination files.
6. Restart symcscan: “/opt/SYMCScan/symcscan.sh restart”
7. Check the GUI to verify the definitions date.
