Created a fresh VM in CM using the CM's CentOS 7 image From CM, I installed Virtualmin Everything completed fine. Go into the Virtualmin web interface to complete the Post Installation wizard enabling the ClamAV server scanner.

A problem occurred testing the ClamAV server scanner :

ERROR: Could not lookup : Servname not supported for ai_socktype
 
----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Infected files: 0
Time: 0.004 sec (0 m 0 s)

Is this something that needs to fixed during installation or do you have an easy fix to keep moving?

Status: 
Closed (fixed)

I was just reading through that. I did the following:

# touch /var/run/clamd.scan/clamd.sock
# chown clamscan:clamscan /var/run/clamd.scan/clamd.sock
# chmod 660 /var/run/clamd.scan/clamd.sock
# systemctl restart clamd@scan.service

It then lets me proceed. I don't know if it's a permanent fix. What is it that causes this? Is it a bug with the clam stuff or Virtualmin?

Yeah that's a fine question! That doesn't occur for everyone, so we'll need to sort out why that's occurring for some people and not others.

Is your server a dedicated server, or a VPS?

VPS. - A Cloudmin created Virtual Machine. Looking back at it, this may be the fix according to the bug report posted on fedora. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1284253

chmod 755 /var/run/clamd.scan
sed 's/710/755/' /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/clamd.scan.conf > /etc/tmpfiles.d/clamd.scan.conf

FYI, the next Virtualmin release should fix this by updating clamd.conf to have clamd set the correct permissions on the socket file.
