Permission errors

• Clamd runs as clamav and hasn't got access to your MTA's or content filter files

Wrong path for socket

• The content scanner is looking for clamd's unix socket in the wrong path. Check LocalSocket in clamd.conf

Socket doesn't exist

• clamd is not running

Changing clamd.conf has no effect

• clamd is looking for clamd.conf in the wrong place. So where should it be? Or how do you tell Calmav where to look?
• Note that clamscan does not use clamd.conf

Odd behaviour after downgrading from 0.90

When I tried out the
.90rc version it installed a :

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 1164073 Nov  4 11:31 libclamav.so.1.0.32

When I changed back to 0.88.6 the Redhat, and FC5 OS both OS's linked the
libclamav.so.1 to the highest version of libclamav.so.1 which was
libclamav.so.1.0.32.

Maybe there is some prompting or checking that confuses this on linux but
not on Solaris.

So it looked like the following when I upgraded to 0.88.7
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      19 Dec 12 10:43 libclamav.so ->libclamav.so.1.0.19
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      19 Dec 12 10:43 libclamav.so.1
->libclamav.so.1.0.32
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  894335 Oct 16 12:41 libclamav.so.1.0.17
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  894495 Nov 14 14:24 libclamav.so.1.0.18
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  896151 Dec 12 10:43 libclamav.so.1.0.19
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 1164073 Nov  4 11:31 libclamav.so.1.0.32

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 1164073 Nov  4 11:31 libclamav.so.1.0.32

That was the problem. Maybe you can add that to the FAQ to make sure the
libclamav.so and libclamav.so.1 are pointing to the correct version after
the install:

Should be:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      19 Dec 12 10:43 libclamav.so -> libclamav.so.1.0.19
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      19 Dec 13 10:06 libclamav.so.1 -> libclamav.so.1.0.19
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  894335 Oct 16 12:41 libclamav.so.1.0.17
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  894495 Nov 14 14:24 libclamav.so.1.0.18
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  896151 Dec 12 10:43 libclamav.so.1.0.19




I removed the  libclamav.so.1.0.32 so this dosen't happen again.
