Error: Core Initialization Failed: (null) Options

[Heinrich Peters]

Hi,

I have some problems with Bitdefender for Unix (v7.90123 running on Debian 5). Every time I try to start a scan I get the folowing result:

CODE

root@dolphin:~# bdscan /tmp/
BitDefender Antivirus Scanner for Unices v7.90123 Linux-i586

Error: core initialization failed: (null)

The return code is 252.

I reinstalled the product and try to run the scan as different users, but the result is the same. Any hints?

Thanks,
Heinrich

Hi Andrei,

thanks for your reply. I tried the command. I got one error (/opt/BitDefender-scanner/var/lib/scan/bdcore.so already exists), but now it's working! Thank you!

Hi!

Sorry for re-opening this old topic...

The command line Andrei posted let bdscan start again - but dosen't fix the problem. Sometimes I still get this error message and bdscan won't start anymore.

My system is a Debian stable (6.0.3). Any ideas for fixing the problem forever?

Thanks,
Heinrich
