Web user interface must be stopped before running mkinstpkg.sh

With Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux, the web user interface must be stopped before running the installer, mkinstpkg.sh.

When run, mkinstpkg.sh checks the local computer to see if port 8081 (the default port for the web user interface) is in use. If it is, you will be unable to select this port for your customer packages.

What to do

To stop the web user interface, then install, type:

# /etc/init.d/sav-web stop
# /opt/sophos-av/update/cache/PACKAGE/LOCAL/mkinstpkg.sh
