Location of the liveupdate.conf
Windows Server
<Drive>:\Program Files\Symantec\Scan Engine
OR
<Drive>:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Scan Engine
On a Windows server running Scan Engine the liveupdate.conf will look like this.
Note: Use a editor to open and edit the file.
Example:
# LiveUpdate.conf
cacheMode=false
downloadCachesize=5368709120
maxPackageContentSize=2147483647
maxPackageSize=2147483647
To configure the Scan Engine to use the liveupdate.conf file because the customer has a proxy server that they use to connect to the Internet, this is what is necessary to be present in the liveupdate.conf file.
Here is a example of how it should look when you have add the necessary lines.
Example on a Windows 2003 box:
# LiveUpdate.conf
hosts/0/url=http://liveupdate.symantecliveupdate.com:80/
hosts/1/url=http://liveupdate.symantec.com:80/
cacheMode=false
downloadCachesize=5368709120
maxPackageContentSize=2147483647
maxPackageSize=2147483647
proxy=<IP address>:<Port Number>
proxyusername=<username>
proxypassword=<password>
logfile=C:\Documents and Settings\All USers\Application Data\Symantec\Java LiveUpdate\liveupdt.log
workdir=C:\Documents and Settings\All USers\Application Data\Symantec\Java LiveUpdate\Downloads
Example on a Windows 2008 or Windows 2012 box:
# LiveUpdate.conf
hosts/0/url=http://liveupdate.symantecliveupdate.com:80/
hosts/1/url=http://liveupdate.symantec.com:80/
cacheMode=false
downloadCachesize=5368709120
maxPackageContentSize=2147483647
maxPackageSize=2147483647
proxy=<IP address>:<Port Number>
proxyusername=<username>
proxypassword=<password>
logfile=C:\ProgramData\Symantec\Java LiveUpdate\liveupdt.log
workdir=C:\ProgramData\Symantec\Java LiveUpdate\Downloads
restart the Protection Engine service after saving the file.
