Local HTTP Server Root 

If the parameter is active, and a valid AVG Anti Virus Remote Administration license number is 

used, the limited web server function is activated. In this way the AVG clients can update from a 

computer with the AVG TCP Server installed. No other components are required, and no directory 

sharing is necessary for local network update distribution. 

The parameter's value defines the directory made accessible by the web server functions. Only 

this directory is open to AVG clients, and only if the path specified in the file request corresponds 

to the parameter's value. 

To activate this function we recommend that you create a local directory C:\AVGUPDATE, and 

set the parameter's value to c:\avgupdate. This directory content will then be open for the AVG 

clients' updates. The AVG Anti Virus update files must be available in the specified directory, 

including the update controlling file AVG7INFO.CTF. To reach this status make sure you perform 

regular 

update files mirroring

.  

If you use the possibility of updating from the local web server implemented in the AVG TCP 

Server, and you have checked this option, the two remaining dialog tabs are activated   the 

InetLite tab, and the Scheduler tab. 

HTTP Server Root 

If the simple web server support is activated, the HTTP Server Root parameter defines the path 

that AVG clients must use in their requirements for update files. This path then responds to the 

directory set up in the Local HTTP Server Root parameter. 

We recommend setting this parameter to the /avgupdate value, for instance.  

Within the update configuration (in the AVG Control Center) it is possible to define a new local 

server. If you keep to the above mentioned parameters, the new server URL should be as follows: 

http://server:4156/avgupdate

. 

Attention!  

Please keep in mind that in the previous example a port number is defined! The web server is 

active on a port with the number set in the AVG TCP Server configuration (Port parameter). The 

default value is then 4156! 

HTTP Log File Path on Local Disk 

If the HTTP Log Path parameter is specified, it defines the full path to the AVG clients' 

requirements on the web server log file (e.g. update requirements). For the local update function 

it is not necessary to create the file; it only serves for diagnostics or server requirement recording.
