Today I did a yum update to my CentOS5/Virtualmin 3.50 Pro server and it updated clamav to 0.92.
Now if I try to enable virus scanning though clamdscan (which was working before the update), it does not work!
First I was getting an error because libclamav.so.2 is not present, so I created a symlink to libclamav.so.3, which is present. But still no luck.
When I try to enable clamdscan, I get the following:
The selected virus scanning command does not work : No virus report produced - perhaps this is not a ClamAV program?
Any clues?
Hmm...Working on it.

Try restarting the clamd service (it may be called clamd-virtualmin, or it could be clamd-clamdscan, depending on how you got the service setup to start with). Whatever you have in /etc/init.d for clamd should be restarted.

Joe,
I have tried restarting it in many ways. The file in /etc/init.d/ is a symlink file called clamd-wraper that points to /usr/share/clamav/clamd-wrapper
The restart seems to work, but when I login to virtualmin to change my settings it appears as disabled. When I click on 'Enable ClamAV Server' I get the following:
Configuring and enabling the ClamAV scanning server ..
---
Creating ClamAV configuration file /etc/clamd.d/virtualmin.conf ..
.. done
Fixing ClamAV bootup action /etc/rc.d/init.d/clamd-wrapper ..

.. all done

But when I go back to the previous page, the button still says 'Enable...'.
If I check the status through SSH, I get:
clamd.virtualmin dead but subsys locked
Thanks for your help!
Alonso
Howdy Alonso,
OK, clamd-wrapper is useless on its own (and I'm thinking that file needs to live somewhere other than /etc/init.d, but that's where the Fedora guys put it...but I think it's a violation of packaging policy). The generated clamd.virtualmin is the service you need to restart. What happens if you restart it with:
service clamd.virtualmin restart
?

I get:
clamd.virtualmin: unrecognized service
Note sure if this helps ...

juarezon, 0.92 is really suppose to use libclamav3, not libclamav2. If you cannot find libclamav3 anywhere, it is possible that you have not installed it
When i do create a symlink from libclamav3 to libclamav2, clamav hangs when it is performing any scan.
Original Scan with libclamav3 (clamav 0.92):
<div class='quote'>
/usr/lib# ln -s libclamav.so.3.0.3 libclamav.so.3
/usr/lib# time clamscan ~long/mydoomM.zip

just a thought.
Lawrence,
My situation is the opposite. I have libclamav.so.3, and not libclamav.so.2.
When trying to start clamd, it was complaining about libclamav.so.2 not found. Thats when I created the symlink to the existing libclamav.so.3.
but still no luck... :o(

Doh .. ok, after rereading it <u>carefully</u> (you're saying that 2 is not present, and that 3 is present), not the other way round. Anyway, that could very well mean that you are using version 0.91.x version of clamav with version 0.92 version of the library. In either case, 0.92 = libclamav3 and < 0.92 = libclamav2. In either case, if the version of the application is correct, you should not need to create that symlink to use an older or newer library.
Not sure what the effect would be of using a newer library with an older binary.
the system reports 0.92, and I know that it was upgraded recently through yum...

Summary: End-user tools for the Clam Antivirus scanner
Description:
Clam AntiVirus is an anti-virus toolkit for UNIX. The main purpose of this
software is the integration with mail servers (attachment scanning). The
package provides a flexible and scalable multi-threaded daemon, a command
line scanner, and a tool for automatic updating via Internet. The programs
are based on a shared library distributed with the Clam AntiVirus package,
which you can use with your own software. The virus database is based on
the virus database from OpenAntiVirus, but contains additional signatures
(including signatures for popular polymorphic viruses, too) and is KEPT UP
TO DATE.

Summary: Virus signature data for the Clam Antivirus scanner
Description:
This package contains the virus-database needed by clamav. This
database should be updated regularly; the 'clamav-update' package
ships a corresponding cron-job. This package and the
'clamav-data-empty' package are mutually exclusive.
Use -data when you want a working (but perhaps outdated) virus scanner
immediately after package installation.
Use -data-empty when you are updating the virus database regulary and
do not want to download a >5MB sized rpm-package with outdated virus
definitions.

Summary: Clam Antivirus scanner server
Description:
ATTENTION: most users do not need this package; the main package has
everything (or depends on it) which is needed to scan for virii on
workstations.
This package contains files which are needed to execute the clamd-daemon.
This daemon does not provide a system-wide service. Instead of, an instance
of this daemon should be started for each service requiring it.
See the README file how this can be done with a minimum of effort.
