Another user, Neural, posted the following, which solved my problem


Neural posted this. It worked for me.

"I had the same problem and figured it out. After upgrading ClamAV I forgot to run a key step in Step 14

mv /usr/bin/clamdscan /usr/bin/clamdscan.orig

ln -s /usr/bin/clamscan /usr/bin/clamdscan

After doing that the test installation script worked fine."

Additional information, I use Slack 10 and when upgrading clamav I already run all step in step 14, but the error still show up.

I had this problem too, once, and it was due to wrong permissions.

in /etc/clamd.conf, there is a line User: xxx. make sure the binary is executable by whatever user you set there.

also, the database files must be readable by that user, so e.g. if the user is qscand, chown -R qscand:qscand /var/lib/clamav.

also note that the qmailrocks install instructions for clamav on slackware seem to be a little odd: use the clamscan utility, which is the non-daemonized version of Clam Antivirus. The most thorough way to ensure that clamdscan is 100% bypassed it to simple remove the real clamdscan and replace it with a simply symlink to clamscan. this is pretty stupid. see http://qmail.jms1.net/clamav-qms.shtml on how to fix this.

Thank you. But I still confused cause I'm newbie and using qmailrocks installation. Do you use qmailrocks installation too? If yes, can you give the step by step to solve this problem? Thanks again.

any suggestion will very appreciate
Thanks

Simple. Delete any of the "daily" files in /var/lib/clamav and then run the update again.

There is simply a file in there it doesn't like. Note: 90.1 of clamav is out now.

Anyone had installed qmail using qmailrocks and slackware (because all the solution given using redhat or fedora / rpm things), that already solve the problem when upgrade to clamav 0.90 or 0.90.1? Please help me with more detail solution to solve the problem. Thanks.

I STILL NEED HELP!!! How to upgrade my clamav from 0.87 to 0.90/0.90.1 :confused: :( :???:

Hi,

Just download the new clamav source and read the INSTALL or README. That simple.

[THX]

carolus555, Same trouble here with a standard QMR install. 'upgraded' from 0.88.5 to 0.90.2

Here is what I did:
from the old install directory make uninstall
After installing 0.90.2 from QMR part 14
copy the /etc/clamd.conf and /etc/freshclam.conf from the install directory.
follow the QMR part 14 directions, edit the clamd.conf
from the QMR maintenance page for Slackware: setuidgid qscand /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl -z

In /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl Remove --mbox from the end of clamscan_options= and clamdscan_options=
mine look like this:
my $clamscan_options="-r -m --unzip --unrar --unzoo --lha --disable-summary --max-recursion=10 --max-space=100000";
my $clamdscan_options="-r --disable-summary --max-recursion=10 --max-space=100000";

qmailctl reload
qmailctl restart
