I installed Clamav from clamav-0.87.1.tar.gz . It was installed in /usr/local/etc . I also installed libesmtp. My mailserver is postfix. I added the necessary entries in Postfix
All, This morning we started seeing this in the headers of our emails: Code: X-Virus-Status: Failed X-Virus-Report: /usr/bin/clamdscan error 2 X-Virus-Checker-Version: clamassassin 1.2.4 with clamdscan / ERROR: Can't connect to clamd: No such file or directory Attempts to manually start https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/clamd-will-not-start.34559/ clamd result in this Code: # service clamd start Starting Clam AntiVirus Daemon: ERROR: LOCAL: Socket file unix:/var/run/clamav/clamd.sock could not be bound: No such file or directory ERROR: Can't unlink the socket file unix:/var/run/clamav/clamd.sock What is responsible for creating the socket and how do I make it do so? Thanks Jon jonwatson, May 5, 2009 #1 jonwatson New Member Anyone have any ideas at all on this? We're running without Anti Virus until this error connecting has been sorted. Thanks, Jon jonwatson, May 6, 2009 #2 falko Super Moderator ISPConfig Developer What's the output of Code: ls -l /var/run/clamav/clamd.sock ? falko, May 6, 2009 #3 jonwatson New Member falko said: ↑ What's the output of Code: ls -l /var/run/clamav/clamd.sock ?Click to expand... That's the problem, there is no such file. I tried touching it to create the file, which worked, but evidently wasn't enough for ClamAV to work. I error connecting to have since rebooted the machine and all it well now. I just hate having to do that because it is production so we have to wait until after hours to do it and that means everyone is running without AV all day long. If there's some way to create the clamd.sock file properly if it is not being created, I would prefer to do that over rebooting. Thanks Jon jonwatson, May 7, 2009 #4 falko Super Moderator ISPConfig Developer What's the output of Code: ls -la /var/run/ ? Maybe it's a permissions problem with one of the directories in the path... falko, May 7, 2009 #5 www New Member I had the same problem. Commenting out Code: LocalSocket unix:/var/run/clamav/clamd.sock and Code: FixStaleSocket yes in /etc/clamd.conf allowed clamd to restart. Then I noticed that there was a new version of clamd available through yum. Installing that seems to have fixed the problem and clamd now restarts even with the lines above uncommented. www, May 7, 2009 #6 egillette New Member Worked for me. . . Hey, I hate to open an old thread, but I just wanted to say thanks! I was having the same issue with clamd on a client's machine, and for whatever reason -- even after an upgrade it still kept giving me the socket permission denied error messag
