Hi Tom,

When I type clamd, I get the error below:
LibClamAV Error: cl_loaddbdir(): Can't open directory /var/lib/clamav

Any ideas as to what went wrong would be appreciated.

It's looking for the virus signature databases (viruses.db and viruses.db2) - does /var/lib/clamav exist? If so, is it accessible to the user whom you're running 'clamd' as? Additionally, you may have changed the install location either via the '--with-dbdir' option to configure or within the clamav.conf configuration file.


Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Joel
