I had clamav antivirus working fine for a couple months. Now after a reboot I can't it started to save my neck. After starting the clamd deamon, which creates "/var/run/clamav/clamd.sock, and starting clamav-milter, clamav-milter exits with following error message:

ClamAv: Unable to bind to port local:/var/run/clamav/clamd.sock: Address already in use.

The socket you start the clamav-milter process as an argument is used for communicating with sendmail

depending on your clamd /etc/clamav.conf configuration, clamav-milter will connect to clamd using ANOTHER socket.

If you specified the milter to use the same socket as clamd, the above is what will happen.

Try stopping clamd, stopping clamav-milter.

Check the socket paths in the /etc/sysconfig/clamav-milter and the arguments passed to clamav-milter (possibly in the init.d script). It should be the same as what you have in your sendmail.mc/sendmail.cf file.
Check the socket path that clamd uses (clamav.conf). It should be DIFFERENT than above.


If files exist there remove them.(use your judgement here)
